Papyrus 108 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), designated by 𝔓¹⁰⁸, is a copy of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Gospel of John, containing verses 17:23-24 (the end of the Farewell Discourse) and 18:1-5 in a fragmentary condition. The manuscript has been paleographically assigned to the late 2nd or early 3rd Century CE.^[1] The manuscript is currently housed at the Papyrology Rooms (P. Oxy. 4447) of the Sackler Library at Oxford University.^[2]

The original manuscript would've been around 14.5 cm x 18.5 cm, with 23 lines per page. The handwriting script is representative of the reformed Documentary style.^[3] The text is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type. Although small, the manuscript concurs with Codex Sinaiticus.^[1] It has itacistic error in John 17:23 (γεινωσκη instead of γινωσκη).^[4]
