Nicolae I. Dăscălescu (29 June 1884 – 28 September 1969) was a Romanian general during World War II.

After being promoted to lieutenant in 1911, Dăscălescu served with an artillery regiment in the Second Balkan War in 1913, and then advanced to the rank of captain in the spring of 1916.

His Corps was present at the Battle of Stalingrad and was overrun by numerical superior forces during Operation Uranus.

After King Michael's Coup on 23 August 1944, the 2nd Corps turned against its former German allies, took 10,500 prisoners, and participated in the advance in Transylvania as part of the Fourth Army under command of general Gheorghe Avramescu.

A bust of Dăscălescu (commissioned by the Romanian Fourth Army) has been erected in Ștefan cel Mare Plaza, Cluj-Napoca.
