An '''archimandrite''' (literally, "chief of a sheepfold") is a celibate [[priest]] who has been elevated to an honorific rank, one level lower than [[bishop]]. Archimandrites are usually styled ''Right Reverend''.

In Greek usage, ''archimandrite'' was originally equivalent to ''[[igumen]]'', the traditional title for an [[abbot]] of a [[monastery]], but after the 6th century came to refer to the abbots of particularly large or important monasteries, often having multiple monasteries under his care.

In Slavic usage, the rank of igumen is given to celibate priests as a lower rank than archimandrite.
