Papias () ( writing in the first third of the 2nd century ) was a bishop of the early Church.

Eusebius of Caesarea calls him " Bishop of Hierapolis " ( modern Pamukkale, Turkey ) which is 22 km from Laodicea and near Colossae ( see Col. 4: 12-13 ), in the Lycus river valley in Phrygia, Asia Minor, not to be confused with the Hierapolis of Syria.
