Euphrosynus of Pskov (Russian: Евфросин Псковский, romanized: Yefrosin Pskovsky; c. 1386 – May 15, 1481) was a Russian monk and the founder of a monastic community.
Euphrosynus was born as Eleazar in Videlebe, a village near Pskov. He entered the Snetogorsky Monastery in Pskov, where he took the monastic name Euphrosynus. Around 1425 he began living in a hermitage, where he reported religious visions, and began attracting followers. Gradually, novices began to gather around him, the monastic community of the future began to take shape Yelizarov Convent. In 1477, he built a church and instituted a monastic rule for the community, setting up his follower Ignatius as hegumenos. He died a few years later, in 1481.
