A Romanian Venezuelan is an Venezuelan citizen of Romanian descent or a Romania-born person who resides in Venezuela.

The Romanian Immigration in Venezuela started well into the XX century and deepened in the 1990s.

The Romanian community in Venezuela is around 10,000 people. [1] They are mostly immigrants who arrived in the country, like many other european nationalities, following the Second World War and the policies of the governments of the Warsaw Pact.[2] Romanians became adjusted to Venezuelan society, because Romanian and Spanish belong to Romance languages, as well as Romanians' Latin identity .

The community is organized into various associations such as Casa Rumana de Venezuela. The Romanian Orthodox Church operates in Caracas since 1997. The same year was built the Church of St. Constantine and Helena in the city.
