Papyrus 47 (Gregory-Aland), signed by 47, is an early copy of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Book of Revelation which contains Rev. 9:10-11:3; 11:5-16:15; 16:17-17:2. The manuscript paleographically has been assigned to the 3rd century.

The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type. Aland ascribed it as a Normal text, and placed it in Category I.[1] The text of this manuscript is closest to Codex Sinaiticus, and they are witnesses for one of early textual types of the Book of Revelation.[2] Another type is represented by manuscripts Papyrus 115, Codex Alexandrinus, and Codex Ephraemi.

It is currently housed at the Chester Beatty Library (Inv. 14. 1. 527) in Dublin.[1][3]
