Constantin Bosianu (10 February 1815 – 21 March 1882) was a Romanian jurist and politician, an honorary member of the Romanian Academy, and Prime Minister of Romania from 26 January to 14 June 1865. He was the first dean of the University of Bucharest's Faculty of Law.

He was an acting MP at the same time as he served as Dean of the Ilfov County Bar (1871–1873). By the end of his life, Bosianu served as an acting Mayor of Bucharest for two weeks in December 1878, and between May 29 and November 15, 1879, Constantin Bosianu was elected the President of the Senate.

He was born in Bucharest, the son of paharnic Andrei Bosianu, and studied at the prestigious school of Saint Sava. He worked in government as the head of the public control chamber of the Department of Finance. After receiving a state scholarship, he continued his studies in Antwerp and Paris, where in 1844 he received a degree in literature at the Sorbonne and a PhD in law in 1851.

Returning to his homeland, he became a professor of Roman Law, then a professor of accountancy at the Central School of Agriculture and director of the Department of Justice. As a member of the Electoral Assembly of Wallachia, on January 24, 1859, he voted to elect Alexandru Ioan Cuza to the throne of Romania. Later he was appointed a judge of the Supreme Court.

In 1864, he became vice-president of the State Council of the United Principality of Wallachia and Moldova.

Bosianu died in Bucharest on March 21, 1882, at the age of 67. A street in Sector 4 of Bucharest bears his name.
