The Titular Bishop of Eger () is a titular bishop of the Serbian Orthodox Church, who also serves as the vicar bishop for the Bishop of Bačka. The see of bishop is at the Kovilj Monastery near Novi Sad. The titular bishop is a member of the Council of Bishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church.
History Established in 1999, the titular bishop bears the title of the old Eparchy of Eger (named after the Hungarian city Eger), which was the northernmost eparchy of the Serbian Patriarchate of Peć. The eparchy was abolished in 1713, and its territory was annexed to the Eparchy of Bačka, whose bishop bore the title "Bačka, Szeged, and Eger".
