Mojsije I Rajović (Serbian Cyrillic: Мојсије I Рајовић; died 13 (24) April 1730 in Novi Pazar) was the Patriarch of the Serbian Patriarchate of Peć from 1712 to 1724, with seat in the Patriarchal Monastery of Peć. Before he became the Serbian Patriarch, Mojsije served as Metropolitan of Raška, from 1704, under Patriarch Kalinik I. That was traditionally a very prominent position, so when the next Patriarch Atanasije I died in 1712, Mojsije was elected as his successor.
