Trophimus /ˈtrɒfɪməs, ˈtroʊ-/ (Greek: Τρόφιμος, Tróphimos) or Trophimus the Ephesian (Greek: Τρόφιμος ὁ Ἐφέσιος, Tróphimos ho Ephésios) was a Christian who accompanied Paul during a part of his third missionary journey. He was with Paul in Jerusalem, and the Jews, supposing that the apostle had brought him into the temple, raised a tumult which resulted in Paul's imprisonment. (See Herod's Temple). In writing to Timothy, the apostle comments that he left Trophimus in Miletus due to illness.^[1] This must refer to some event not noticed in the Acts.

His feast is kept on 19 September.^[2]
