Gonzalo Miguel de Segovia (m. 1211) was a Castilian ecclesiastic, who served as bishop of Segovia between 1196 and 1211.

Born in the city of Segovia, he was the son of Miguel Pérez de Segovia, the second lord of Moratilla, the house of Alfonso VIII of Castile and his major porter, and brother of Gutierre Miguel de Segovia, heir to his father and husband of Dona Enderaso, notable segovians, who endowed, among other works, a chapel dedicated to the Holy Spirit in the primitive cathedral of the city. He succeeded in revoking in 1196 the sale of the town of Navares, which Bishop Guillermo had sold to the town of Sepulveda, and obtained confirmation from the tenth king of the door of Sepulveda, Cuellar, Coca, Iscar, Pedraza, Maderuelo, Fresno, Fuentidueña, Bernuy de Porreros, Sacramenia and Membibre, granted by Alfonso VII the Emperor.

The king became ill, tested in Sepulveda, leaving the bishop the town of Fresno, with the condition that the town hall made certain anniversaries for his soul. Bishop Gonzalo died in the year 1211, being named to succeed him Don Gerardo.
