The Holy Synod of Milan, also known as the Milan Synod, is an autonomous Eastern Orthodox Church in Milan, Italy.
It began as the Diocese for Western Europe of the Old Calendarist Greek Orthodox Church which (after receiving a hierarchy with the aid of bishops of the ROCOR) was united under Archbishops Akakios of Diavleia (Greek Old Calendarists) and Auxentios.
The Synod's jurisdiction in Spain is legally recognized by the European Union.
