Charitina of Lithuania was a 13th-century noblewoman who became an Eastern Orthodox nun and abbess. Originally from the pagan Grand Duchy of Lithuania, she moved to Novgorod, where she joined the Monastery of Saints Peter and Paul. Although her specific biographical details are scarce due to the loss of her hagiography, she is remembered for her religious devotion. Some historians suggest she may have been the daughter of Tautvilas, a nobleman who fled to Novgorod following his father's death.
