Michael I ( ro, Mihai I ; 25 October 1921 – 5 December 2017) was the last King of Romania, reigning from 20 July 1927 to 8 June 1930 and again from 6 September 1940 until his forced abdication on 30 December 1947.

In 1925, Carol was pressured to renounce his rights to the throne and moved to Paris in exile with Lupescu.
