Metropolitan Peter (secular name Pyotr Simeonovich Mogila, Ukrainian: Петро Симеонович Могила, Polish: Piotr Mohyła, Romanian: Petru Movilă, Russian: Петр Симеонович Могила; 21 December 1596 – 1 January [O.S. 22 December] 1647) was an influential Romanian Orthodox theologian and reformer, Metropolitan of Kiev, Halych and All Rus' from 1633 until his death.
Peter Mogila was born into a Moldavian boyar family — the Movilești — one that gave Moldavia and Wallachia several rulers, including his father, Simion Movilă, Prince of Moldavia; his great-grandfather too was Lord of Moldavia, Petru Rareș. Peter Mogila's mother, Marghita (Margareta), was the daughter of a Moldavian logothete, Gavrilaș Hâra. Peter Mogila's sister Raina Mohylanka married prince Michał Wiśniowiecki, and their son Jeremi Wiśniowiecki was Mogila's nephew and supporter even though he himself changed the faith to marry a Roman Catholic princess and to inherit the Polish crown.
