Cătălin Marian Predoiu (Romanian pronunciation: [kətəˈlin preˈdoju]; born 27 August 1968, Buzău) is a Romanian lawyer who served as the interim Prime Minister of Romania from February 6 to February 9, 2012, following the resignation of Emil Boc. He had previously been the Minister of Justice of Romania since 29 February 2008.
Cătălin Predoiu graduated from the Faculty of Law at the University of Bucharest in 1991. In 1994 he completed a training program in commercial law at the Caen Bar in France. Since 2003 he is a member of the Council of Bucharest Bar Association.
