Petrus Aureolus (c.?1280 – January 10, 1322) was a scholastic philosopher and theologian.
We know little of his life before 1312.
After this time, he taught at the Franciscan convent in Bologna, then at the convent in Toulouse, around 1314.
He went to Paris in 1316 in order to qualify for his doctorate, where he read the Sentences.
In 1318 he was appointed master of theology at the University of Paris.
In 1321, he was appointed by his mentor, Pope John XXII, to the position of Archbishop of Aix-en-Provence, but died not long after in 1322.
