Ioane Petritsi (Georgian: იოანე პეტრიწი, romanized: ioane p'et'rits'i) also referred as John Petritzos[1] was a Georgian Neoplatonist philosopher of the 11th–12th century, active in the Byzantine Empire and Kingdom of Georgia, best known for his translations of Proclus, along with an extensive commentary.

In later sources, he is also referred to as Ioane Chimchimeli (Georgian: იოანე ჭიმჭიმელი, romanized: ioane ch'imch'imeli). The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy describes Petritsi as "the most significant Georgian medieval philosopher" and the "most widely read Georgian philosopher."[2]
