Constantin Sărățeanu

Constantin Sărățeanu (18 June 1862 - 23 May 1935) was a Romanian politician and judge who served on the regency council of Michael I in his first reign.

Born in Buzău, Sărățeanu was educated in Bucharest and pursued a legal career in the magistrate courts of Romania. He eventually became a counsellor at High Court of Cassation and Justice - Romania's highest court - and also had a short political career that saw him serve as the Minister of the Interior for a few months in 1918. In 1929, he was elected to replace Gheorghe Buzdugan on the regency council of the child King Michael I, but was widely seen as too obedient to Prime Minister Luliu Maniu. In his appointment, he promised to not oppose Prince Carol if he sought the throne. In June 1930, Carol became King and the regency council was dissolved. Historian Cristian Manolachi characterised Sărățeanu as obedient and dull, with very little charisma.
