Yes. Among all the Christian saints, kings, popes or emperors called Constantine, some died by martyrdom.
- The Orthodox Church and Byzantine catholics venerate the last Byzantine Emperor, Constantine XI Paleologus, as a martyr. He is believed to have been martyred by the forces of Sultan Mehmet during their assault on Constantinople on May 29th 1453 C.E./A.D. His feast day is celebrated on May 29th, and he is sometimes known as Great Martyr and Emperor, Blessed Constantine XI Paleologos.
His predecessor, by contrast, the Emperor Constantine I (also known as Constantine the Great, or Saint Constantine within the tradition of the Orthodox Christian churches), although a promoter of Christianity within the Roman Empire, was only baptised on his deathbed in 337 C.E. / A.D., following an illness (not martyrdom).
A British saint, known both as "Constantine of Cornwall" and as "Constantine of Strathclyde" was martyred on Kintyre in either 576 or 588 C.E./A.D. After founding the monastery at Govan, he prayed as an old man for a martyr's death. On a preaching mission, his attendant was set upon and had his hand cut off. Constantine healed his hand with a touch. This enraged the attackers, who then turned on Saint Constantine. They beat him up, cut off his arm and left him for dead. He managed to call his bretheren to him to comfort them and then passed away. He is venerated in both the Eastern Orthodox tradition and in the Roman Catholic Church. His feast day is celebrated in March, on slightly different dates in Cornwall and Wales, Scotland and Ireland.

- One or more "Kings of the Cornishmen" have gone on to be known as Saint Constantine, with one giving up the throne to enter monastic life. The shrine of this Saint Constantine (also known as Constantine of Strathclyde) can still be seen today in the Scottish city of Glasgow on the Govan area, where a catholic church is also dedicated to the saint.
