Petre Stoica (February 15, 1931 – March 21, 2009) was a Romanian poet and translator.
A native of the Timi?oara area, he studied at the University of Bucharest before launching a career as a writer.
Making his debut in the late 1950s alongside several better-known generational colleagues, he published a number of books over the subsequent decades.
His poetry dealt with quotidian subjects and studiously avoided glorification of the ruling communist regime.
After the Romanian Revolution, he briefly engaged with the political scene before withdrawing to Jimbolia, not far from where he grew up.
There, he worked to enrich the town's cultural life.
