Utrenja, alternatively spelled as Utrenia, Utrenya, or Jutrznia, and sometimes also translated as Matins, is a set of two liturgical compositions by Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki. They were composed and premiered in 1970 and 1971.
"Jutrznia" in this context refers to "Matins of the Passion of Jesus" in Eastern Orthodox rites (Polish: "Jutrznia Męki Pańskiej", Russian/Church Slavonic: "Utrenja Strastiej Khristovych").
Following his Stabat Mater, Penderecki garnered certain fame in avant-garde circles, though, in respect to his upcoming radicalism and emotional directness in his orchestral works, this led to musicians and music lovers to turn their backs on him under accusations of him being reactionary and on disrupting musical progress. In fact, Russian authorities banned the piece, which could only be performed in Russia in 1995.

Given that Utrenja is a set of two different compositions, their movements are numbered separately. A typical performance of the complete work would last 75–80 minutes to perform. The original published score leaves all movements of Part I untitled except No. 5, which is entitled Irmologion. Part II, however, has no movement division, and is presented without pauses or a discernible separation of sections. The most common movement list used in all published recordings of the piece is as follows:
- Part I: Złożenie Chrystusa do grobu (The Entombment of Christ)
- I. Troparion
- II. Pieśni Pochwalne (Songs of Praise)
- III. Irmos
- IV. Kanon Wielkiej Soboty, Pieśń 9 (Canon of Holy Saturday, Song 9)
- V. Irmologion (Stichira)
- Part II: Zmartwychwstanie Pańskie (The Resurrection of Christ)
- I. Ewangelia (The Gospel)
- II. Stichira
- III. Psalm z Troparionem (Psalm with Troparion)
- IV. Kanon Paschy, Pieśni 1, 3 (Passover Canon, Songs 1 and 3)
- V. Kanon Paschy, Pieśń 8 (Passover Canon, Song 8)
- VI. Kontakion
- VII. Ikos
- VIII. Kanon Paschy, Fragmenty (Passover Canon, Fragments)
Part I is scored for 2 mixed choirs, 5 solo voices and symphony orchestra, whereas Part II is scored for choir, boys' choir, 5 solo voices and symphony orchestra.
