Xenophon of Robeika (Russian: Ксенофонт Робейский, romanized: Ksenofont Robeysky; late 14th — early 15th centuries) was a Russian Orthodox monk, later declared a saint (made venerable). Xenophon took his monastic vows at the Lisitsky Monastery from Abbot Barlaam. Xenophon later became hegumen (abbot) of the Khutyn Monastery. Resigning from this post, he later founded the St. Nicholas Monastery on the Robeika River, close to Novgorod. His relics were placed in the monastery's church, which later became a parish church.[2]
