Kalender Romawi Timur

Kalender Romawi Timur (sering disebut hanya sebagai Kalender Romawi), juga disebut Kalender Bizantium, Era Penciptaan Konstantinopel, atau Era Dunia (, juga  atau , disingkat sebagai ε.Κ.; terjemahan harfiah: Tahun Romawi sejak penciptaan alam semesta), adalah kalender dan penanggalan yang pernah digunakan oleh Gereja Ortodoks Timur pada tahun 691 hingga 1728 dalam Patriarkat Oikumenis. Itu juga merupakan kalender resmi Kekaisaran Romawi Timur dari tahun 988 hingga 1453, serta Rus Kiev dan Kekaisaran Rusia pada tahun 988 hingga 1700. Kalender ini juga pernah digunakan di wilayah "Persemakmuran Romawi Timur" seperti Serbia, di mana kalender ini ditemukan dalam catatan-catatan hukum yaitu Undang-undang Dušan, sehingga disebut juga sebagai Kalender Serbia. Karena "Bizantium" hanyalah istilah neologisme untuk membedakan dengan Romawi bersatu (dan Romawi Barat) yang berpusat di Roma, nama aslinya menggunakan "Romawi" karena itulah yang terus disebut oleh pemerintahan dan masyarakat Romawi Timur.

Kalender ini berdasarkan Kalender Yulius, kecuali bahwa tahun dimulai pada 1 September dan nomor tahun menggunakan zaman Anno Mundi ang berasal dari Alkitab versi Septuaginta. Kalender ini menempatkan tanggal penciptaan pada 5509 tahun sebelum inkarnasi Yesus Kristus, dan dicirikan oleh kecenderungan tertentu yang telah menjadi tradisi di kalangan orang Yahudi dan Kristen awal untuk menghitung tahun-tahun sejak dasar perhitungan dunia (Latin: Annus Mundi atau Ab Origine Mundi— "AM"). Tahun Pertamanya, yang menandai kepercayaan tentang tanggal penciptaan, adalah 1 September 5509 SM hingga 31 Agustus 5508 SM. Sehingga sekarang tanggal (AD ) {{#ifexpr:<9||}} ( sebelum 1 September; dan  setelah 1 September).
