Jurgis Petkūnas (also Petkevičius, Petkonis; Polish: Jerzy Pietkiewicz; died in 1574) was a Bishop of Samogitia from 1567 to 1574. He received medical education in universities in Germany and Italy. Despite his lack of theological education, Petkūnas was confirmed as bishop in November 1567. He inherited a neglected diocese that had only about 20 priests and faced competition from the Protestants. He was the first Samogitian bishop charged with implementing the Counter-Reformation decisions of the Council of Trent.
