Demetrius of Antioch was patriarch of Antioch in the 3rd century AD. In 253 he was taken to Persia as a captive by Shapur I, where he became the first bishop of Gundeshapur. Despite being far from his original see, Demetrius was not replaced as patriarch of Antioch until Paul of Samosata became Patriarch in 260.
