Joseph, son of Caiaphas, commonly known simply as Caiaphas in the New Testament, is the Roman-appointed Jewish high priest who is said to have organized the plot to kill Jesus.

Caiaphas is also said to have been involved in the Sanhedrin trial of Jesus.

According to the Gospel accounts, Caiaphas was the major antagonist of Jesus.

An ossuary of the high priest, Joseph Caiaphas, was found in Jerusalem in 1990.

However, the authenticity of that discovery has been challenged by some scholars on various grounds.
