以弗所之七圣童 是指七个孩子为了躲避苛政而躲入以弗所城外山洞的故事。故事大约发生在公元前250年左右，国王迫使他的臣民进行偶像崇拜，违者处死。这群孩子进行躲避是由于强烈信仰他们的神而拒绝偶像崇拜。

这个故事的早期版本是出自叙利亚主教Serugh的雅各布，它是来源于早期希腊著作，现今已失传。这个故事的轮廓出现在《都尔的额我略》以及在保罗·迪肯的《伦巴底人历史》。这个故事最知名的西方版本是出现在雅各·德·佛拉金的《黄金传说》。

罗马殉道圣人录有提到以弗所之七圣童。

The Seven Sleepers (Arabic: اصحاب الکھف aṣḥāb al kahf, "companions of the cave") of Ephesus are legendary people in a story of a group of youths who hid inside a cave outside the city of Ephesus around 250 AD, to escape a persecution. The king forced all his kingdom to worship idols and whoever did not would be killed. These men escaped as their faith in God (their belief varies by regional origin) was strong and refused to worship idols. The story is one of the many examples of the legend about a man who falls asleep and years after wakes up to find the world changed.
