George II Xiphilinos or Xiphilinus (Greek: Γεώργιος Ξιφιλῖνος; died 7 July 1198) was the Patriarch of Constantinople between 1191 and 1198 AD.[1] According to Balsamon, George, during the reign of Alexios I Komnenos, added one member to the Exocatacoeli (an office similar to the Catholic cardinal in the Greek Church of the time), making it six.[2]
