Florentin Crihălmeanu (born September 17, 1959) is a Romanian bishop of the Greek-Catholic Church. Born in Iaşi to a Greek-Catholic father and a Roman Catholic mother, he graduated from high school in Cluj-Napoca in 1978. He performed his military service in Turda in 1978-79. In 1984, he graduated from the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, working as an engineer until 1990 first in Bistriţa and then in Cluj-Napoca. He began private theological lessons in 1986 and was ordained priest in September 1990, following the collapse of the communist regime and legalization of the church. Sent to Rome to deepen his studies, he took degrees in Theology in 1992 and 1994 from the Pontifical Urbaniana University. Upon returning to Romania, he taught courses at the seminary in Cluj-Napoca and at Babeş-Bolyai University. He was named auxiliary bishop of the Cluj-Gherla Diocese in November 1996, with his consecration taking place the following January, performed by Pope John Paul II in St. Peter's Basilica. In 2002, he became Bishop of Cluj-Gherla, succeeding George Guţiu.
