Abuna Petros VII (died 20 October 1917) was a cleric of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church who served as Abuna of Ethiopia (archbishop and head of the Church) from 1881 to 1889. He served during the reign of Emperor Yohannes IV (r. 1871–1889), a period during which the Ethiopian Church maintained traditional ecclesiastical ties with the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria and sought to strengthen episcopal leadership following years of instability.
