Atanasije I (Serbian Cyrillic: Атанасије I) was the Patriarch of the Serbian Patriarchate of Peć from 1711 until 1712.[1]

Before he became Serbian Patriarch, Atanasije served as Metropolitan of Skopje, from 1706, under Kalinik I. That was a very prominent position, so when old patriarch died in 1710, Atanasije was elected as his successor in 1711. His seat was in the Patriarchate of Peć Monastery.[2]

As new Serbian Patriarch, he strengthened ties with newly created Metropolitanate of Krušedol, an autonomous ecclesiastical province of Serbian Patriarchate of Peć in Habsburg monarchy. His rule was not long since he died on 23 April 1712.[3]
