{{confusing|reason=not all reforms discussed in this article were initiated by Gregory VII. This article could be improved by a more clear and accurate chronology, equal discussion of the key figures involved (such as Pope Nicholas II), and more robust contextualization. The term "Gregorian Reform" is widely used but somewhat misleading (a possible source of confusion), as Gregory VII was an important, but not the sole, pope to make reforms in this period|date=March 2022}}

The '''Gregorian Reforms''' were a series of reforms initiated by [[Pope Gregory VII]] and the circle he formed in the [[Roman Curia|papal curia]], c. 1050–80, which dealt with the moral integrity and independence of the [[clergy]]. The reforms are considered to be named after Pope Gregory VII (1073–85), though he personally denied it and claimed his reforms, like his [[regnal name]], honoured [[Pope Gregory I]].
