Gjeble Pederssøn (c.1490 – 9 March 1557) was a Norwegian priest who was the first Lutheran bishop in Norway.
[1] Pederssøn was born at Teigstad on the island of Dønna in Nordland county, Norway.
[2] In 1536, he was elected the bishop at Bergen, but the appointment came as the Protestant Reformation was also arriving in Norway.
In this regard, he found an ally in Hans Gaas (1500–1578), bishop of the Diocese of Nidaros, who was also active in the reform process.
Among the students whose education he sponsored was Absalon Pederssøn Beyer (1528–1575) who was appointed lecturer in theology at Bergen Cathedral School.
