Florentin Crihălmeanu (17 September 1959 – 12 January 2021) was a Romanian Greek Catholic hierarch.
Born in Iași to a Greek-Catholic father and a Roman Catholic mother, he graduated from high school in Cluj-Napoca in 1978.
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.
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.
