Abraham I of Jerusalem (Armenian: Աբրահամ Ա.) was the first Armenian Patriarch of Jerusalem from 638 to 669 A.D.[1][2]

He served the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem which was founded in 638 by the Armenian Apostolic Church in the Holy Land;[3] the Armenian Apostolic Church began appointing its own bishop in Jerusalem, generally known as the Armenian Patriarch of Jerusalem. The office has continued, with some interruptions, to this day.
