Alexey Anatolyevich Uminsky (Russian: Алексей Анатольевич Уминский; born 3 July 1960) is an Eastern Orthodox priest from Russia. Since 27 February 2024, he has been a Protoiereus of the Church of Constantinople.
From 1993 until early January 2024, he served as the rector of the Moscow Church of the Life-Giving Holy Trinity. On 3 January 2024, he was suspended from ministry and subjected to an ecclesiastical court, which on 13 January of the same year ruled that he "is subject to defrocking for violating the priestly Oath (perjury)". On 27 February 2024, he was restored to the holy priesthood and received into the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople. Since April 2024, he has been a cleric at the Church of the Sign of the Mother of God in Paris (Greek Orthodox Metropolis of France).
