Ebraro-Orthodox (Ebrarese: Orthodoxoebrarese) is a term for a group of Ebrarian Christians who historically adhered to traditional, pre-Amendant forms of liturgy and theology within the Church of Ebrary. The Ebraro-Orthodox groups were primarily divided into two factions, iconoclasts and iconodulists. Though somewhat estranged from each other over the question of icons, both factions cooperated in the 19th century to produce the Ebraro-Orthodox Prayer Guide which has inspired the liturgy of both groups since.

After the disestablishment of the Church of Ebrary, the Ebraro-Orthodox factions split off to form the iconoclast Orthodox Aroman Church in Ebrary (1939) and the iconodulist Ebrarian Orthodox Catholic Church (1940). There are very few Ebraro-Orthodox members and clergy left in the Ebraricist Church in the modern era.
