Mihai or Mihail Racoviță (c. 1660 – July 1744) was a Prince of Moldavia on three occasions (September 1703 – February 23, 1705; July 31, 1707 – October 28, 1709; January 5, 1716 – October 1726) and Prince of Wallachia on two occasions (between October 1730 and October 2, 1731, and from September 1741 until his death). His rules overlapped with the accession of Phanariotes in the Danubian Principalities – he is considered himself a Phanariote for the duration of his last rule in Moldavia and his rules over Wallachia. In 1726, Racoviță presided on the trial of four Jews on charges of ritual murder of a child. The defendants were acquitted due to diplomatic protests by the Kingdom of France.
