Gilbert de Moravia was a 13th-century Catholic bishop of Caithness who lived in what is now Scotland. Born in Moray around 1101, he served as the Archdeacon of Moray before being elected to his bishopric, likely around 1223. He is most recognized for relocating the seat of his diocese from Halkirk to Dornoch and establishing the cathedral there. A scholar and preacher, he also translated the New Testament Gospels and the Psalms into Gaelic to serve his community.
