Constantine Diogenes (Greek: Κωνσταντίνος Διογένης; died 1073) was one of the sons of Byzantine Emperor Romanos IV Diogenes (reigned 1068–1071).
He was a son of Romanos with his unnamed first wife, a daughter of Alusian of Bulgaria,[1][2] and hence excluded from the line of succession when his father married the empress-dowager Eudokia Makrembolitissa in 1068.[1] He was named after his grandfather, general Constantine Diogenes (died 1032).
He was married to Theodora Komnene, sister of the later emperor Alexios I Komnenos (reigned 1081–1118), some time during his father's reign.[3] Their daughter Anna Diogenissa became the consort of Serbia after her marriage to Uroš I of Serbia.
Constantine fell in battle in 1073.[4] An adventurer pretended to be him in the 1090s, and invaded the Byzantine Empire with Cuman help in 1095.[5][6]
