Roman Mstislavich, known as Roman the Great (c. 1152 – Zawichost, 19 June 1205) was a Rus’ prince, Grand Prince of Kiev, member of the Rurik dynasty.

He was Prince of Novgorod (1168–1170), Volhynia (1170–1189, 1189–1205), and of Halych (Galicia; 1189, 1198/99–1205).[1] By seizing the throne of Halych, he became the master of all Western Rus’. In the early 13th century, Byzantine chroniclers applied the imperial title "autocrate" (αύτοκράτωρ) to him, but there is no evidence that he assumed it officially.[2]

He waged two successful campaigns against the Cumans, from which he returned with many rescued captives.[3] The effect of Roman's victory was, however, undermined by new divisions among the princes of Rus’.[2]

Roman died in a battle with the Poles at the Battle of Zawichost.[2] He founded the Romanovich dynasty,[3] which would rule Volhynia and Halych until 1340.
