Alexandru Ciura (15 November 1876 – 2 March 1936) was an Austro-Hungarian-born Romanian journalist, short story writer and priest.
Born in Abrud, Ciura was descended from a long line of Greek-Catholic priests in the Țara Moților region of Transylvania; family members had fought in the 1848 revolution alongside Avram Iancu.
After attending high school at Blaj and Sibiu, graduating in 1894, Ciura studied theology and philology at the University of Budapest from 1894 to 1902.
Ciura also wrote for Lupta (Budapest), Cosânzeana, Familia, Revista politică și literară, Pagini literare, Gând românesc, and Societatea de mâine.
In prose volumes such as Icoane (1906), Amintiri (1911), În război (1915), and Sub steag strein (1920), he evoked the primitive world of the Apuseni Mountains, the anxieties of the younger generation of Transylvanian Romanian intellectuals and the sufferings brought by World War I, all in a traditional manner close in theme and style to Ion Agârbiceanu.
