John I Komnenos Axouch[1] (Greek: Ιωάννης Κομνηνός Ἀξούχος, romanizedIōannēs Komnēnos Axouch) was Emperor of Trebizond from 1235 to 1238. One editor reads the text of the chronicle of Michael Panaretos as stating that John ruled six years; although William Miller follows Fallmerayer in assuming this was a mistake for three years,[2] another possible solution is that John was co-ruler with his predecessor Andronikos I Gidos for three years then ruled alone for three more.
