The Romanian Episcopal Conference (Romanian: "Conferinţa Episcopală Română") is the permanent Catholic bishops' conference in Romania. The bishops' conference has its headquarters in Bucharest, is a member of the Council of European Episcopal Conferences (CCEE) and sends a representative to the Commission of the Bishops' Conferences of the European Community (COMECE).
The President of the Romanian Episcopal Conference is Archbishop Lucian Mureşan, head of the Romanian Church United with Rome.
Notable members are:
- Aurel Percă, Archbishop and Metropolitan of Bucharest;
- György Jakubinyi, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Alba Iulia; and
- the Apostolic Administrator of the Armenians in Romania.
The other bishops (diocesan bishops, auxiliary bishops and retired bishops) represent the Latin and Byzantine rites from Romania. The Roman Catholic bishop of Chișinău, as well as the apostolic nuncio for both Romania and Moldova are given each an honourary seat within the Conference.
