Tit Liviu Chinezu (22 June 1904 – 15 January 1955) was a Romanian bishop of the Greek-Catholic Church. Arrested in October 1948 by the authorities of the new Communist regime that outlawed the church, he was secretly ordained bishop in December 1949 by other detained bishops. Never tried or sentenced, he was eventually sent to Sighet prison. He died there of hypothermia. Pope Francis beatified him and six other Romanian bishop martyrs on 2 June 2019 in Blaj.
