Metropolitan Yuvenaly, former Krutitsy and Kolomna (Russian: Ювеналий, митрополит Крутицкий и Коломенский; born Vladimir Kirillovich Poyarkov (Russian: Владимир Кириллович Поярков); September 22, 1935) is a hierarch of the Russian Orthodox Church. The metropolitans of Krutitsy (previously, Sarsky) have traditionally served as auxiliary bishops to the Patriarchs of Moscow, but with a special elevated status making them equal to a ruling diocesan bishop (Russian: Патриарший наместник) for the countryside part (the Moscow Region) of the Moscow diocese.
On April 15, 2021, he was retired according to his request.
After the death of Metropolitan Vladimir (Kotlyarov), he was the oldest bishop by ordination, and after the death of Metropolitan Chrysostom (Martishkin), he was the oldest bishop by age in the Russian Orthodox Church.
