Florin Ionuț Croitoru (born 25 August 1993) is a Romanian weightlifter who competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics in the Men's 56 kg.[1] He finished fourth place at the 2013 European Championships, but later he won gold, after all three medalists (Valentin Hristov, Igor Bour, ) were suspended for doping.

In May 2019 he was disqualified from the 2012 Summer Olympics after the re-analysis of his samples. Croitoru tested positive for dehydrochlormethyltestosterone, metenolone and stanozolol.[2]
