Papyrus 37 designated by 𝔓37 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering) is an early copy of a small part of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Gospel of Matthew dated to the 3rd century, about 250–260 CE, because of its affinities with 𝔓53 (dated to 260 CE), The correspondence of Heroninos (dated shortly before or after 260 CE) and a letter by Kopres (P. Greco-Egizi 208, dated 256 CE).
