Marin Ceauşescu (1916-December 28, 1989) was the older brother of Nicolae Ceauşescu.

He graduated from the Academy of Economic Studies in Bucharest. From 1974, he headed the Romanian Economic Agency in Vienna. He was widely believed to have been the conduit through whom Nicolae allegedly transferred millions of dollars into Swiss bank accounts [1]. He was found hanged on December 28, 1989, in the basement of the Romanian Embassy in Vienna. The police said it was a suicide. Austria's Interior Minister, Franz Loschnak, said that Austrian officials suspected that Marin Ceauşescu worked for the Romanian security service[2].

He left two daughters, Mihaela (m. Moraru) and Gabriela.
