Evagrius of Edessa was Bishop of Edessa and early Christian historian.

He was the first to claim that Jesus had sent a divinely wrought image of himself to king Abgar of Edessa. In fact he seems to be the first person to have alleged that any icon was made by the work of God and not by the work of man.^{[citation needed]}
