Ion N. Cămărășescu (January 27, 1882 – March 25, 1953) was a Romanian politician.
He was born in Bucharest, the son of Nicolae Cămărășescu, who owned a 2,500 ha (6,200 acres) estate in the Bărăgan Plain.[1] He completed high school in his native city, and then studied at the University of Paris, taking a degree in law. After returning home, he practiced law in the Bucharest bar.[2][1] He married in 1909 Yvonne Blondel, the daughter of Camille Blondel, the French ambassador to Romania; the couple would divorce in 1918.[3] Afterwards, he married Zoe, née Bengescu (1896–1987), with whom he would have two sons, Ion I. (born 1927) and Nicolae (born 1929).[4] Cămărășescu developed a keen interest in sports, being one of the founders (together with George Valentin Bibescu) of the Romanian Automobile Club in 1904[1] and of the Romanian Olympic Committee on March 27, 1914.[1][5] He himself practiced several sports: tennis, horse riding, skiing, and bobsleigh, being in 1909 the first Romanian participant in a Winter Olympics (in the bobsled competition in Stockholm). He was the organizer of the first cycling tour of Romania in 1910, the year in which he also participated in the automobile competition on the Bucharest–Târgoviște route, which he won with an hourly average of 100 km/h (62 mph), a European record at the time.[1]
