拜占庭历是一套拜占庭(东罗马)帝国东正教会历史上使用过的历法,历史上被称作“自创世以来的罗马年(古希臘語Ἔτη Γενέσεως Κόσμου κατὰ Ῥωμαίους[1]”或“创世年(古希腊语:Ἔτος Κτίσεως Κόσμου)”或“世界年(古希腊语:Ἔτος Κόσμου)”。东正教普世牧首辖区于约公元691年至1728年[2],拜占庭帝国官方于988年-1453年,罗斯诸国于约988年-约1700年使用这套历法,其他受拜占庭影响较大的国家,如塞尔维亚保加利亚历史上也曾使用这种历法。

这套历法与儒略历基本相同,主要区别有两点,一是以每年9月1日为新年第一天,纪年法则采用世界纪元,即以上帝创世的第一天为纪年之始。拜占庭宗教界以《旧约圣经七十士译本中的记载为基础推算的上帝创世之年相当于公元前5509年,拜占庭历的第一年为前5509年9月1日-前5508年8月31日。
