Boutros Mouallem is the retired Melkite Greek Catholic archbishop of Akka, Haifa and Galilee. He was born in 1928 and consecrated eparch of Brazil on June 29, 1990. He is active in seeking interfaith reconciliation and for championing the rights of Palestinians.

His appointment as archbishop of Galilee was actively opposed by the government of Israel, resulting in a row between the Holy See and the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.^[1] Later, in October 2002, Archbishop Mouallem was prevented by Israeli airport guards from leaving Jerusalem to attend an interfaith meeting in London.^[2]
