Alexandru Ioanițiu (2 February 1890 – 17 September 1941) was a Romanian major general.

He led Romanian troops against the Soviet Union during World War II, and was killed when he accidentally stepped into the moving propeller of his aircraft upon landing at an airport near Odessa while it was under siege.

After Romania entered World War I on the side of the Allies, he fought in the Romanian Campaign of 1916 in Dobruja and at the Battle of the Argeș.

Romania joined Operation Barbarossa on 22 June 1941 in order to reclaim the lost territories of Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina, which had been annexed by the Soviet Union in June 1940.

On 17 September he accompanied Marshal Ion Antonescu to the front, to oversee the Romanian offensive during the Siege of Odessa.
