Maximos of Gallipoli (Greek: Μάξιμος Καλλιπολίτης; Latin: Maximus Callipolites; died 1633) was a hieromonk who made the first translation of the New Testament into modern Greek after 1629. This was at the initiative of the reforming Patriarch Cyril Lucaris of Constantinople, who was later strangled. With the assistance of the Dutch ambassador to Constantinople it was printed at Geneva in 1638. Meletios Sirigos (1590–1664) vehemently opposed Maximos's translation.
