Nilus Kerameus ( Greek: Νεῖλος Κεραμεύς; died 1 February 1388) was the Orthodox Patriarch of Constantinople between spring 1380 and 1388. [1] He was a Hesychast.

In 1380, he convened a synod to decide the metropolitanate of Moscow, choosing Bulgarian-born Hesychast Cyprian (1336–1406).

In 1382, Stephen of Perm wrote a letter to Nilus concerning the Strigolniki schism. [2]
