R. Aaron Perahyah ha-Kohen (1627?–1697), rabbi and halakhic authority of Salonika. Perahyah was born in Salonika and studied there under R. Asher b. Ardut ha-Kohen, R. Hasdai ha-Kohen Perahyah, and R. Hayyim Shabbetai. In 1689 he succeeded R. Elijah Covo as chief rabbi of Salonika. He was regarded as an important posek among Salonika rabbis. His additional works are: Parah Matteh Aharon (2 parts, Amsterdam, 1703), responsa which reflect the contemporary condition of Turkish Jewry in general and of Salonikan Jewry in particular; Bigdei Kehunnah (Saloniki 1753), eulogies and homilies; and Zikhron Devarim (ibid., 1758), source references for the Arba'ah Turim of R. Jacob b. Asher. In his Parah Matteh Aharon he mentions another work, on Alfasi, of which nothing is known.
