Ion I. Câmpineanu (October 10, 1841 – November 13, 1888) was a Romanian statesman who served as the Minister of Justice from January 27, 1877, to September 23, 1877, Minister of Finance in two terms, from September 23, 1877, to November 25, 1878, and from February 25, 1880, to July 15, 1880, and Minister of Foreign Affairs from November 25, 1878, until July 10, 1879. He was one of the founders and most important members of the National Liberal Party.
After the proclamation of the Kingdom of Romania, Ion I. Câmpineanu was appointed the Minister of Foreign Affairs and held the office from February 2, 1885, until October 27, 1885. He was the Mayor of Bucharest from November 1886 to April 1888. He became the first Governor of the National Bank of Romania in July 1880,[1] which he headed until his death on November 13, 1888.
His father was Ion Câmpineanu (1798–1863), a participant in the Wallachian Revolution of 1848. Câmpineanu was a member of the Macedo-Romanian Cultural Society.[2]
One of the central streets in Bucharest was named after Câmpineanu.[3] In 2015, Poșta Română issued a 3.30 Lei stamp honoring Câmpineanu as the first Governor of the National Bank of Romania.
