Ghébrē-Michael (1791 - 30 July 1855) was an Ethiopian Roman Catholic priest and postulant from the Congregation of the Mission. He became a monk in the Coptic Orthodox Church in 1813 when he became professed and later met Giustino de Jacobis on a pilgrimage. That chance meeting later happened to transform his life since de Jacobis would later receive him into Catholicism and ordain him as a priest. But the Coptic Orthodox bishop - the single Orthodox bishop in Ethiopia - took an intense disliking of him and set out to eliminate both him and his patron de Jacobis. He was soon imprisoned and tortured and later died in prison due to ill treatment under a cedar tree.
