Gherasim Safirin (born Gheorghe or George Safirin, also rendered Safirim, Saffirin, Saffirinu, or Safrim; October 1849 – February 14, 1922) was a Wallachian, later Romanian cleric who served as a bishop in the Romanian Orthodox Church and was deposed following a national controversy. Originally a schoolteacher, he felt attracted to monastery life an took orders in 1873, becoming a deacon the following year. His second career was as a seminary professor attached to the Râmnic Diocese, where, as principal, he also instituted a campaign for transparency and reform. He was eventually deposed, but still took over as vicar for two separate periods. A translator, polemicist, and composer of church music, he was eventually elected as the Bishop of Roman in 1900, and became a putative candidate for the Metropolitan Bishop in 1909. He lost the latter race to Atanasie Mironescu, his lifelong rival.
