Radu Vasile (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈradu vaˈsile]; 10 October 1942 – 3 July 2013) was a Romanian politician, historian, academic/professor, and poet.[1]

Originally a member of the Christian Democratic National Peasants' Party (PNȚ-CD), Vasile served as the Prime Minister of Romania between 17 April 1998 and 13 December 1999, and was notably confronted with the last Mineriad (more specifically the February 1999 Mineriad). Subsequently, between 2000 and 2004, he was elected as a Senator on behalf the Democratic Party (PD). In addition to his political career, Vasile published poetry under the pen name Radu Mischiu.
