Theodosius of Skopje

Theodosius of Skopje (Bulgarian: ???????? ???????, Macedonian: ???????? ?????????; 1846–1926) was a Bulgarian religious figure from Macedonia who was also a scholar and translator of the Bulgarian language.

He was initially involved in the struggle for an autonomous Bulgarian Church and later in his life, he became a member of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.

Although he was named Metropolitan Bishop of the Bulgarian Exarchate in Skopje, he is known for his failed attempt to establish a separate Macedonian Church as a restoration of the Archbishopric of Ohrid.

Theodosius of Skopje is considered a Bulgarian in Bulgaria and an ethnic Macedonian in North Macedonia.
