Codex Borgianus (Gregory-Aland no. T or 029) is a Greek and Sahidic uncial manuscript of the Gospels, dated paleographically to the 5th century. The codex contains 23 leaves (26cm by 21cm), with fragments of the Gospel of Luke 22-23 and Gospel of John 6-8. The manuscript is written in two column per page, with the Greek and Sahidic on facing pages. Fragments of the codex were discovered independently at separate times and were numbered 029, 0113, 0125, and 0139.

The codex is located, in Vatican Library; (Borgia Coptic 109), in New York (Pierpont Morgan M 664A), and in Paris (Bibl. Nat. Copt. 129).

The Greek text of this codex is a secondary representative of the Alexandrian text-type (named also Egyptian text) with some Byzantine readings. Kurt Aland placed it in Category II.
