Elias of Jerusalem (d. c. 518) was a bishop and Patriarch of Jerusalem from 494 until being deposed by Byzantine Emperor Anastasius I in 516 for supporting the decrees of the Council of Chalcedon. At the Synod of Sidon (512) he successfully defended together with Flavian II of Antioch the dyophysite Christological doctrine proclaimed by the Council of Chalcedon.
