Mstislav Romanovich the Old (Мстислав Романович Старый in Russian) (? - 1223), Prince of Pskov (1179 - ?), Smolensk (1197 - ?), Bilhorod, presently Bilohorodka (1206), Halych (? - ?) and Grand Prince of Kiev (1212-1223). Son of Roman Rostislavich.

Mstislav went to war against the Mongols of Genghis Khan in 1223 and was defeated at the Battle of the Kalka River by the warlord Subutai, after which he was executed by suffocation (put under a giant wooden plate onto which Subutai, Jebe and other mongol warlords danced and feasted).
