Saint Stephen the Younger (Greek: , 713/715 – 28 November 764 or 765) was a Byzantine monk from Constantinople who became one of the leading opponents of the iconoclastic policies of Emperor Constantine V (r. 741–775). He was executed in 764, and became the most prominent iconodule martyr. His hagiography, the Life of St Stephen the Younger, is an important historical source.
