Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 656 (abbreviated as P.Oxy.IV 656) – is a Greek fragment of a Septuagint manuscript written on papyrus in codex form. This is a manuscript discovered at Oxyrhynchus, and it has been catalogued with number 656. Palaeographycally it is dated to late second century or early third century.

The manuscript was written on papyrus, in codex form. The surviving fragments are four pieces of 24 cm by 20 cm.{{Clarify|date=August 2016}} The fragments contains Genesis (14:21-23, 15:5-9, 19:32-20:11, 24:28-47, 27:32,33,40,41), written in Koine Greek. On places where the tetragrammaton occurs, the word kyrios is written, a nomina sacra, and the characters are different from the rest. Jason David BeDuhn, quoting Emanuel Tov wrote:

{{quote|The transition from the practice of preserving YHWH in archaic Hebrew letters to replacing it with the Greek kurios can be seen in Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 656 (Rahlfs 950). In the text of Genesis preserved in this manuscript, the original scribe left blank spaces for YHWH exactly like the scribe of PFouad 266 did. But later another scribe instead of writing YHWH into those spaces wrote kurios.^[1]}}

In manuscripts from the Dead Sea Scrolls, the use of different letters, a different pen and/or a different scribe was applied for the special treatment to the divine name in the text, but in this manuscript it was not written at all. The mss. Papyrus Rylands 458 has been used in discussions about the tetragrammaton, although there are blank spaces in the places where some scholars including C. H. Roberts believe that it contained letters.^[2] According to Paul E. Kahle, the tetragrammaton was intended to be written in the manuscript where these breaks or blank spaces appear.^[3]
