Job (Russian: Иов, romanized: Iov; died 19 June 1607) was Metropolitan of Moscow and all Rus', the primate of the Russian Orthodox Church, from 1587 to 1589, and the first Patriarch of Moscow and all Rus' from 1589 to 1605.

He was the seventeenth metropolitan in Moscow to be appointed without the approval of the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople as had been the norm. In 1589, Jeremias II, the patriarch of Constantinople, regularized Job's canonical status and raised him to the status of patriarch. 400 years later, the Russian Orthodox Church canonized him in 1989.
