Pere d'Urtx was a 13th-century Catholic bishop who served the Diocese of Urgell from 1269 until his death in 1293. He is historically significant for signing the 1278 paréage, an agreement that established joint lordship over Andorra alongside the Count of Foix. This political settlement ended decades of territorial disputes and laid the foundations for the modern Andorran state. Beyond his political role, he held the position of archdeacon of Prats and participated in several provincial councils during his episcopate.
