Victor Negrescu (born 17 August 1985) is a Romanian politician of the Social Democratic Party.

[12] He initiated several EU-funded pilot projects[13] worth more than 8 million EUR for the Romanian research industry and for the development of the IT sector, as well as a pilot project which allocates 1 million EUR to enable access to health care in rural areas.

[14] One of his main stated goals as an MEP was supporting youth in the EU, through initiatives to combat unemployment, ensure job creation, access to culture and European funds.

[25] He met with representatives of the Romanian community in the UK and held consultations with the European Union negotiating team.

[27] Negrescu supported the European integration of the Republic of Moldova and contributed to the intensification of the political and diplomatic cooperation between the two countries.

[29] Negrescu resigned from his office on 10 November 2018,[30] stating that Romania was ready to take over the Presidency of the Council of the European Union and adding: "I considered that in order to carry out my mandate I need to have all the means at disposal to perform best and fulfill this mission the way I had done by then, observing certain professional standards and requirements, and respecting everything that to me signifies common values and European customs and traditions".

However, following pressure from President von der Leyen for Member States to nominate more women to the College of Commissioners, Negrescu’s name was withdrawn in favour of Roxana Mînzatu.

[37] He was also Vice-Rector of SNSPA (2019), the main responsibility being the coordination of projects and activities aimed at developing the European profile of the university.
