Abuna Qerellos IV (baptised as Sidarus al-Antuni; c. 1880 – 1950) was a Coptic priest from Egypt, who came to Ethiopia in 1926, becoming the Archbishop of Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. Except for a break between 1936 and 1945 (including the Fascist Italian occupation between 1936 and 1941, following the Second Italo-Ethiopian War) which he spent in exile, Qerellos remained the head of the Ethiopian church until his death.
Qerellos was the last Archbishop of Ethiopia of foreign descent.[1]
