Mihai Macovei (born 29 October 1986) is a Romanian rugby union player. He plays in the flanker and occasionally number 8 position for French Pro D2 club Colomiers. Macovei also plays for Romania's national team the Oaks.

He represented Romania in the 2011 Rugby World Cup, and, following the retirement of Marius Tincu, was named captain for the 2015 tournament. He went on to be Romania's star performer in the pool stages, scoring two tries in a the Oaks' dramatic comeback victory against Canada.
