Ion "Țop" Voinescu (18 April 1929 – 9 March 2018) was a Romanian footballer,[4] who is often considered one of the finest goalkeepers Romania has ever produced.

After four years with Olympia, Voinescu left to join another club from Bucharest, ASPIM, but left again after the war's conclusion in 1945, in order to sign his first professional contract with Carmen București, which was one of the best Romanian football teams during the interbelic period.

Voinescu has won 21 caps for Romania, with his only honor being representing his country at the 1952 Summer Olympics.
