Papyrus 75 is the oldest extant manuscript from the Gospel of Luke, dated between AD 175 and 225.[1] It also contains more than half (chapters 1-15:8) of the Gospel of John and the Lord's Prayer.

This is considered to be the most significant of all the New Testament papyruses that have been discovered as of 2023. Its preservation and quality are exceptionally high, it has a close agreement with the subsequent Codex Vaticanus, and its ending of the Gospel of Luke is corroborated by the Gospel of John remarkably beginning on the same page.

It was donated to the Vatican Library in 2007.
