Ioan-Aurel Pop (born 1 January 1955) is a Romanian historian. Pop was appointed Professor of History at BabeČ-Bolyai University in 1996. He has since been Chairman of the Department of Medieval History and the History of Premodern Art at BabeČ-Bolyai University. Since 2012, Pop has been Rector at BabeČ-Bolyai University. In 2018 he was elected President of the Romanian Academy and re-elected in 2022.
His work is focused on researching the medieval history of Romanians and "of Central and South-East Europe," including Romanian medieval institutions, Romanian-Slavic political formations in Transylvania, the relations of Romanians from Transylvania with the extra-Carpathian Romanian space, "the Byzantine influence on Romanians," the relations of Transylvania with Central and Western Europe. And the ethnic and confessional structure of Transylvania. After the appearance of the book History and myth in the Romanian consciousness by Lucian Boia, Pop published a book in reply, partially rejecting the deconstructivist thesis of the Bucharest historian.
