Eusebius of Caesarea (; , Eusébios; 260/265 – 339/340), also known as Eusebius Pamphili, was a Roman historian, exegete, and Christian polemicist of Greek descent. He became the bishop of Caesarea Maritima about 314. Together with Pamphilus, he was a scholar of the Biblical canon and is regarded as an extremely well learned Christian of his time. He wrote Demonstrations of the Gospel, Preparations for the Gospel, and On Discrepancies between the Gospels, studies of the Biblical text. As "Father of Church History" he produced the Ecclesiastical History, On the Life of Pamphilus, the Chronicle and On the Martyrs.

Eusebius (died 361) was a high-ranking officer of the Roman Empire, holding the position of praepositus sacri cubiculi for all the rule of Emperor Constantius II (337-361).

Eusebius was Archbishop of Milan from 449 to 462. He is honoured as a saint and his feast day is August 12.

Flavius Eusebius (died c. AD 350) was a Roman military officer and politician, and is usually identified as the posthumous father-in-law of the Roman emperor Constantius II.

Flavius Eusebius (died after AD 371) was a Roman Senator, who was the brother-in-law of the Roman emperor Constantius II.

Flavius Eusebius was a bureaucrat of the Eastern Roman Empire. He was magister officiorum (492-497) under the rule of Anastasius I, and appointed twice consul for Constantinope: once in 489 with Petronius Probinus as his Western counterpart; and again in 493 with Albinus as his counterpart.

The fact he was appointed consul twice suggests he was somehow related to the Emperor Anastatius.
