This list contains the names of all the hierarchs whose title contains a reference to the city of Kiev (except those of the Russian Orthodox Old-Rite Church who never styled themselves as either metropolitans or patriarchs in Kiev), arranged chronologically and grouped as per the jurisdictions, some of them unrecognised. Nearly all the hierarchs listed up to the 1920s, except the primates of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, belonged to the Russian Orthodox Church, under the jurisdiction of the Patriarch of Constantinople at certain periods.
