The Romanian Master of Mathematics and Sciences (formerly known as the Romanian Masters in Mathematics) is an annual competition for students in the preuniversitary level, held in Bucharest, Romania. The contestants compete individually, in four different sections: mathematics, physics, chemistry and computer science. The participating teams (national and local teams) can have up to six students for each section (plus two teachers: a leader and a deputy leader). The contest follows the same structure as IMO and IPhO and is usually held at the end of February.

The first country that won the competition was the United Kingdom. The 4th edition was held between 23–28 of February 2011 and included also Chemistry and Computer Science.
