Codex Tischendorfianus IV (Gregory-Aland no. Γ or 036) is a Greek uncial manuscript of the Gospels, dated paleographically to the 10th century (although 9th century is also possible). The codex contains portions of the four Gospels on 257 leaves (30 cm by 23 cm) in the Western order Matthew, John, Luke, and Mark. The codex is in a fragmentary condition. Written in one column per page, 24 lines per page.

The text of the codex has a lot of lacunae in Matthew (Matt. 5:31-6:16, 6:30-7:26, 8:27-9:6, 21:19-22:25) and one lacuna in Mark (Mark 3:34-6:21); Luke and John are complete.

The codex was found by Tischendorf in the East, and divided by him into two parts, which are holded now in two places. 99 leaves of the codex are located in the Russian National Library (Gr. 33) in Saint Petersburg, and 158 leaves in the Bodleian Library (Auct. T. infr 2.2).

The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.
