Oecumenius () is the name under which are transmitted several commentaries in Greek on the New Testament. It now appears that these were not all written by the same person nor in the same period.
Oecumenius was once believed to have been a bishop of Trikka (now Trikala) in Thessaly writing about 990. Scholars have, however, redated his Commentary on the Apocalypse to the early seventh or late sixth century, and have located its author in Asia Minor. The name Pseudo-Oecumenius is sometimes used in light of the uncertainty. Whether this is the "Count Oecumenius" to whom Severus of Antioch, 6th century Monophysite Patriarch, directed two letters is uncertain.
