Ambrosii or Amvrosii (Russian) was the first Old Believers' Metropolitan of the Ancient Orthodox Church. He was born in 1791 in Maistra, at that time part of the Ottoman Empire as Andreas Popovic. He was of Greek origin. He became a bishop in 1835. He converted to the Old Believers in 1846, thus establishing a full Church Hierarchy of the Old Believers. This hierarchy became known as the Belokrinitskaya Hierarchy. He died in 1863.
