Peter the Iberian, or Peter of Iberia, (Georgian: პეტრე იბერი, Petre Iberi) (c. 411-491) is a Georgian Orthodox saint, who was a prominent figure in early Christianity. Some have claimed that he is the author of the works written under the pen name Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite.
His accomplishments include founding the first Georgian monastery in Bethlehem and becoming the bishop of Gaza near Majuma. In addition to being canonized by the Georgian Orthodox Church as a saint, he is also recognized by various eastern Churches, some of which have deviated from the Chalcedonian doctrine.
