Petrus Johannes Meindaerts (7 November 1684 in Groningen – 31 October 1767) served as the tenth Archbishop of Utrecht from 1739 to 1767. After the death of his consecrator, Bishop Dominique Marie Varlet, Meindaerts consecrated other bishops, such that all later Old Catholic bishops derive their apostolic succession from him, as the bishops before him died before they could consecrate others.
