The Ecumenical Patriarchate of Arciluco (Amathian: Ⱂⰰⱅⱃⰹⰰⱃⱍⰹⰰ Ⰵⰽⱆⰿⰵⱀⰹⰽⱐ ⰴⰵ Ⰰⱃⰽⰹⰾⱆⰽⱁ, tr. Patriarhia Ecumenică de Arciluco; Piraean: Οἰκουμενικόν Πατριαρχεῖον ᾽Αρκιλυκος, tr. Oikoumenikón Patriarkhíon Arkilukon) is an Amathian rite Episemialist church, one of the autocephalous churches of the larger communion of the Episemialist Church. Its origins are tied to the creation and early development of Episemialism, and its history left it with a jurisdiction that includes Amathia and the autonomous Metropolitanate of Piraea and Patriarchate of Nouavanau, while also claiming jurisdiction over the Metropolitanate of All Miruvia, with additional dioceses for Episemialists living abroad in Eastern Euclea and Asteria.

It is headed by the Ecumenical Patriarch of Arciluco, currently Alexander VIII, who also holds the titles of Archbishop of Arciluco and Alikianos and is considered ceremonially to be the primus inter pares among all Episemialist Patriarchs, due to Arciluco's important role in the development of Episemialism and the conversion of Western Euclea to Sotirianity.
