Metropolis of Kiev is an episcopal title that has been created with varying suffixes at multiple times in different Christian churches, though always maintaining the name of the metropolitan city — Kiev (Kyiv) — which today is located in the modern state of Ukraine. Following the Council of Florence and the Union of Brest, there are now parallel apostolic successions: in the Russian Orthodox Church, the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, the Ruthenian Uniate Church and its successors. They include:
- Metropolis of Kiev and all Rus' (988–1441)
- Metropolis of Kiev, Galicia and all Rus' (1441 - 1596) established in the lands of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Kingdom of Poland following the division of the original metropolis.
- Metropolis of Moscow and all Russia established in the Tsardom of Moscow in 1448 following the division of the original metropolis.
- Metropolis of Kiev, Galicia and all Ruthenia (Ruthenian Uniate Church) (1595–1805) erected in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1595/96 following the Union of Brest.
- Metropolis of Kiev, Galicia and all Rus' (1620–1686) - metropolis of the Eastern Orthodox Church that was re-established in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth (1620–1686)
- Metropolis of Kiev (Patriarchate of Moscow) - this metropolis transferred from the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople to the Patriarchate of Moscow (1686-present)
