The Bob church (Romanian: Biserica Bob din Cluj-Napoca, Hungarian: Bob utcai görög katolikus templom) is the first Greek-Catholic church that was built in the city of Cluj-Napoca, Romania. The name of the church comes from the Romanian noble Ioan Bob, later bishop of the Romanian Greek-Catholic church, who paid for the construction of the church.
