Ion Monea (30 November 1940 – 1 March 2011) was a Romanian amateur boxer.

He then moved up to the light-heavyweight division and won three more medals, at the 1967 and 1969 European championships and 1968 Olympics, losing on all three occasions to Danas Pozniakas.

He did not fight Pozniakas in 1968 though, as he had a broken nose from his previous bout and withdrew from the Olympic final.

[2][3] Monea was trained by Constantin Nour, whom he called the "most competent and gifted trainer".
