Paul of Kolomna was a 17th-century Russian Orthodox priest and bishop who became a significant figure during the era of church reforms. Born in the village of Kolychevo to a clergyman's family, he lived as a monk at the Makaryev Monastery, where he served as the treasurer. He was appointed the Bishop of Kolomna in 1652, but his opposition to the reforms introduced by Patriarch Nikon led to his removal from office in 1654.
