Victor Eftimiu (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈviktor efˈtimju]; 24 January 1889 – 27 November 1972) was a Romanian poet and playwright. He was a contributor to Sburătorul, a Romanian literary magazine. His works have been performed in the State Jewish Theater of Romania.
Eftimiu was of Albanian origin.[1][2] He was born in Boboshticë near Korçë. In 1905, he emigrated from Albania to Romania, where he found work as a theatre manager in 1913. He published several books of poetry, and wrote comedies and satirical pieces for the theatre. He also wrote a volume of Romanian fairy tales, and several children's books. He wrote also criticisms and articles for numerous magazines.
He died in 1972 and was buried at Bellu Cemetery.
Eftimiu lived in a house next to the Cișmigiu Gardens, in central Bucharest. The street where the house is located is named after him; a , sculpted by Dimitrie Paciurea in 1929, is in the house's garden. Streets in Arad, Cluj-Napoca, and Pitești are also named after him.
