Codex Augiensis (Gregory-Aland no. Fp or 010) is a 9th century diglot uncial manuscript of the Pauline Epistles in double parallel columns of Greek and Latin on the same page. The codex contains 136 leaves (23 cm by 19 cm), with some lacks in the Greek (Romans 1:1-3:19, 1 Cor. 3:8-16, 6:7-14, Col. 2:1-8, Philem. 21-25, Hebrews). These omissions are paralleled to the sister manuscript Codex Boernerianus. The Greek text of both manuscripts is almost the same; the Latin text differs. Among textual scholars, there is a tendency to prefer Augiensis above Boernerianus. The codex is also similar to Codex Claromontanus, and again scholars favor the readings in Augiensis above those in Claromontanus.

Codex Augiensis is named after the monastery of Augia Dives in Lake Constance. The codex today is located in the library of Trinity College (Cat. number: B. XVII. 1) in Cambridge. The Greek text of this codex is representative of the Western text-type. Aland placed it in Category II.
