TheSenate of the entire People of the Peloponnese provinces (Greek:Γερουσία όλου του Δήμου των επαρχιών της Πελοποννήσου), commonly known as thePeloponnesian Senate (Πελοποννησιακή Γερουσία), was a provisional regime that existed in thePeloponnese during the early stages of theGreek War of Independence.

On 25 March 1821 (all the dates are given according to theJulian calendar), a few days after the outbreak of theGreek War of Independence in March 1821, the rebels of the southernPeloponnese, led by theManiots, assembled atKalamata and founded the Greek rebels' first organ of government, theMessenian Senate. As the uprising spread through Greece, the Messenian Senate's leader,Petrobey Mavromichalis, invited representatives from the rest of the Peloponnese in an assembly held at theKaltetza Monastery. There, on 26 May the "Senate of the entire People of the Peloponnese provinces", commonly known, from the legend on its seal, as the "Peloponnesian Senate" and as the "Senate of Kaltetza" (Γερουσία των Καλτετζών), was founded, with BishopTheodoritos of Vresthena as president andRigas Palamidis [el] as secretary.Sotirios Charalambis,Athanasios Kanakaris,Anagnostis Deligiannis,Theocharis Rentis andNikolaos Poniropoulos were members. Unlike the modern concept of a "senate" as the upper body of parliament, the Peloponnesian Senate was both a legislative and executive organ. The Senate's constitutional charter was created on 15 December 1821.

On 27 May 1821, the Senate moved its seat to the Chrysopege Monastery inStemnitsa. After thecapture ofTripolitsa in September, the Senate established itself in the town in February 1822. The Peloponnesian Senate continued in existence (withAsimakis Fotilas as president after February 1822) until it was dissolved by theSecond National Assembly at Astros in April 1823.
