Manuel I, surnamed Sarantenos or Charitopoulos (Greek: ), was Patriarch of Constantinople from December 1216 or January to [1222. He seems to have been called "the Philosopher": George Akropolites says he was "a philosopher, it seems, in deed, and so named by the people." Manuel was Patriarch-in-exile as at the time his titular seat was occupied by the Latin Patriarch of Constantinople, and he resided in Nicaea. Before the sack of 1204, Manuel was a deacon and maistor ton philosophon in Constantinople. This is likely the source of his epithet "the Philosopher".
