His All-Holiness '''Benjamin I''' (Greek: Βενιαμίν A') (1871-1946), was the [[List of Patriarchs of Constantinople|266th Successor]] to the [[Apostle Andrew]] and [[Church of Constantinople|Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople]] from (1936-1946).
He was born in the village of Stypsi on [[Lesvos]] in 1871 and later studied at the [[Halki|Theological School of Halki]]. In 1912 he became [[Metropolitan of Rhodes]], and in 1913, [[Metropolitan of Σηλυβρείας]], and then later, [[Metropolitan of Philippolis]]. In 1921 he was elected [[Metropolitan of Nicaea]] and in 1933 as [[Metropolitan of Iraklion]].
During his patriarchate in 1941 a great fire destroyed the [[Patriarchal Palace]] in the [[Phanar]]. A new Palace was erected in 1989 by [[P. Aggelopoulos]].
The Veniamin was Patriarch Istamboul from 18 January 1936 until 17 February 1946.
In 1935, afterwards the death of Patriarch Fwtj'oy of B, his more likely successor they was considered the then Metropolite Halkido'nos (and later Patriarch) Ma'xjmos. However, the Prefect Istamboul erased (as he has right) their Halkido'nos Ma'xjmo and De'rkwn Jwakej'm from the list eklogj'mwn. It is considered that this happened because the then Minister of Internal Turkey and deputy of province Tsana'kale, where depends and Imbros, was connected with the Metropolite Imbros and Tenedos Ja'kwvo. It is considered therefore that with his own command were erased the two prevailing candidates, so that is promoted the Metropolite Imbros as Oecumenical Patriarch.
