Prince Mircea of Romania was born in 1913 and died in 1916.

Officially, Mircea was the third son and youngest child of Queen Marie and King Ferdinand of Romania. However, most historians now believe that Mircea's father was actually Prince Barbu Ştirbey. This is supported by the fact that Mircea and Prince Ştirbey had dark eyes, while Queen Marie and her husband, King Ferdinand, had blue eyes. Prince Mircea died of typhoid in the autumn of 1916, during World War I.

Mircea's brother the subsequent King Carol II and his first wife Zizi Lambrino named their son (who was born in 1920) Mircea, in memory of Prince Mircea who had died four years previously.
