Abraham of Nethpra (died 6th century) was a monk of the Assyrian Church of the East.

He was born in Beith-Nethpra in Adiabene. He became a hermit there and, after returning from Egypt, returned to hermeticism. He lived for thirty years in a cave before dying in the 6th century.[https://books.google.com/books?id=LP4UAAAAQAAJ&dq=Abraham+of+Nethpra&pg=PA7 Holweck, F. G. A Biographical Dictionary of the Saints] St. Louis, Mo: B. Herder Book Co. 1924, p. 7

He changed the religious habit of the monks of the Church of the East to make it easier to distinguish them from similar Miaphysite monks.

He is regarded as a saint of the Assyrian Church. His feast day is March 13.
