Codex Seidelianus I (Gregory-Aland no. Ge or 011) is a Greek uncial manuscript of the Gospels, dated paleographically to the 9th century (or 10th century). The codex contains 252 leaves (25.7 cm by 21.5 cm). The codex contains the Gospels with some lacunae (Matt. 1:1-6:6, 7:25-8:9, 8:23-9:2, 28:18-Mark 1:13, Mark 14:19-25, Luke 1:1-13, 5:4-7:3, 8:46-9:5, 12:27-41, 24:41-end, John 18:5-19, 19:4-27). Some portions of these lacunaes are rectified by a later hand.

The codex was brought from the East by Andrew E. Seidel in 17th century and was acquired by J.C. Wolf. Later it became part of the library of Robert Harley, now is located, in the British Library (Harley 5684), and one page, which Wolf gave to Richard Bentley, is in Cambridge in the (Trinity College B. XVII. 20).

The Greek text of this codex is a secondary representative of the Byzantine text-type with many of the non-Byzantine readings seeming to be Caesarean. Aland placed it in Category V.
