Gheorghe Bengescu (Francized Georges Bengesco; August 30, 1848–August 23, 1922) was a Romanian diplomat and man of letters.

Born in Craiova to Grigore Bengescu as the scion of a boyar family, he studied in Paris,[1] earning a doctorate in political and administrative sciences,[2] before returning to Romania.

[1][3] While abroad, Bengescu published a series of works on literature, producing sixteen books in as many years, including a four-volume bibliography of Voltaire that received a prize from the Académie française.

His bibliography of Oriental culture was much appreciated by contemporaries, while his studies in Romanian covered Vasile Alecsandri (1886-1888), Queen Elisabeth of Romania (1906) and the literary activity of Golescu family members.

[2] Bengescu belonged to the administration of the Société d'Histoire littéraire de la France, becoming vice president.
