Pedro Peláez y Sebastián (1812–1863) was a Filipino Servant of God Catholic priest who favored the rights for Filipino clergy during the 19th century. He was diocesan administrator of the Archdiocese of Manila for a brief period of time. In the early 19th century, Pelaez fought for the secularization of Filipino priests and is considered the "Godfather of the Philippine Revolution." His cause towards beatification is underway, leaving him the current title as "Servant of God."
