Mircea Dobrescu (5 September 1930 – 6 August 2015) was a flyweight boxer from Romania. He competed at the 1952, 1956 and 1960 Olympics and won a silver medal in 1956, losing to Terence Spinks on points. He won two more silver medals at the European championships in 1955 and 1957.

Dobrescu took up boxing in 1948 and retired in 1982 after winning seven national flyweight titles, one of them against his brother Constantin. He inherited glaucoma from his mother, which resulted in blindness during his last years.
