The Moscow–Constantinople schism refers to either of two schisms within the Eastern Orthodox Church between the Russian Orthodox Church and the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople.

  • The 1996 Moscow–Constantinople schism, in which the Russian Orthodox Church severed full communion with the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople over a dispute concerning canonical jurisdiction over Estonia; this schism lasted a bit less than three months (23 February to 16 May 1996).
  • The 2018 Moscow–Constantinople schism, in which the Russian Orthodox Church severed full communion with the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople over a dispute concerning canonical jurisdiction over Ukraine.
