Timeline of autocephaly of Eastern Orthodox churches

In the Eastern Orthodox Church, a "tomos of autocephaly" grants ecclesiastical independence from a mother church. As of 2025, there are 14 completely recognized autocephalous Eastern Orthodox Churches, with 3 partially recognized Eastern Orthodox churches.

The "date" column is determined the most recent date with support from a Patriarch (self-declared autocephaly is not taken into consideration). The "date" column also excludes former autocephaly halted by a force, and re-granted later.

*Any tomoi once proclaimed, but no longer accepted.
