The term '''''Greek Orthodox''''' may refer either to the [[Orthodox Church]] as a whole or to the various churches of the traditionally Eastern Roman ("Byzantine") lands.
In the English-speaking world, ''Greek Orthodox'' mainly refers to Orthodox Christians of ethnically Greek descent and the churches they inhabit. It is also used, however, to refer to all Orthodox Christians without regard to ethnicity, much as the term ''Roman Catholic'' is used to refer to all those who belong to the [[Roman Catholic Church]], despite not being of Italian ancestry.
