Asyncritus of Hyrcania, also Asynkritos (, meaning "incomparable"), was numbered among the Seventy Disciples. He was bishop of Hyrcania in Asia. Saint Paul mentions him in his letter to the Romans (cf. 16:14). The Eastern Orthodox Church remembers St. Asyncritus on 8 April. He is also commemorated on 4 January with the other Seventy Apostles.
