Pope Eumenes of Alexandria served as Pope & Patriarch of Alexandria (head of the church that became the Coptic Orthodox Church and the Greek Church of Alexandria) between 131 and 141.

He took over from Justus as the second Dean of The Catechetical School of Alexandria (also known as the Theological School of Alexandria). He then became Pope after Pope Justus's death in 131 AD. He is commemorated in the Coptic Synaxarion on the 9th day of Paopi.^[1]

The seat of the Pope during his papacy remained in the Saint Mark's church in Alexandria.
