Darie Magheru (pen name of Aurel Zaharia Moldovan or Moldoveanu; October 25, 1923–October 25, 1983) was a Romanian poet and theatre actor.

Born in Lunca Câlnicului, Brașov County, his parents were the clerk Simion Moldovan and his wife Valeria (née Nicolescu).

[1] He was then arrested in connection with alleged membership in Sumanele Negre, part of the Romanian anti-communist resistance movement, spending a year and a half in prison.

Darie Horațiu Moldovan, his son from his first marriage and a supporter of the Charter 77 movement, died in exile at age 41, in unexplained circumstances.

[2] Magheru's literary debut came in 1941 with the short volume of poetry Cu barda-n porți de veac, which he considered insignificant;[1] no copies survive.
