Mihail Kogălniceanu (September 6, 1817, Iaşi - July 1, 1891, Paris) was a Romanian statesman, historian and publicist; he became Prime minister of Romania October 11, 1863, after the union of the Danubian Principalities — Moldavia and Wallachia — under Domnitor Alexander John Cuza (the basis of modern Romania).

He successfully proposed legislation to secularize the property of monasteries (adopted December 25, 1863). However, his efforts at land reform resulted in a censure vote, and he resigned in 1865.
