That would be Constantinople IV, the (disputed) Eighth Ecumenical Council. Prior to that, the local council held in Constantinople by St. Photios the Great also condemned the filioque and various other local councils since then have done the same (though these are obviously less important).

I read of Photius, rather than having read Photius, in Carlton Clark's book. It makes for interesting reading as it looks to a difference that emerged between Catholicism and Orthodoxy, when the Catholic church developed the novel idea of the double procession of the Holy Spirit.
