George of Evdokia (born George Wagner March 10, 1930 in Berlin, Germany – April 6, 1993 in Paris) was an Eastern Orthodox archbishop of the Ecumenical Patriarchate who led the Patriarchal Exarchate for Orthodox Parishes of Russian Tradition in Western Europe from 1981 to 1993.
Having studied theology at the St. Sergius Orthodox Theological Institute in Paris (where he later served as a professor), he was ordained in 1955 into the Russian Orthodox Church for service in that city.
He became a monk in March 1971. In October that year he was consecrated as an assistant bishop to Archbishop George Tarassov. In May 1981, he was elected to be the successor of Archbishop George as head of the exarchate, a capacity in which he served until his death in Paris on April 6, 1993.
