Leonte Tismăneanu (born Leonid Tisminetski; 1913-1981) was a Romanian and Soviet communist activist.

Born into a Jewish family in Soroca, Bessarabia, Russian Empire (now in Moldova), he fought in the International Brigades during the Spanish Civil War, losing his right arm at the age of 24. In 1939, Tisminetski left for the Soviet Union, where he became a student of the Moscow State Linguistic University. After the start of Operation Barbarossa, in which Romania took part (see Romania during World War II), he worked with Ana Pauker and Vasile Luca for the Romanian language branch of Radio Moscow, first as a newsreader, then as a writer.

In 1948, Tisminetski and his family were sent to Soviet-occupied Romania, where he changed in 1949 his name to Leonte Tismăneanu, at the request of the Romanian Communist Party. He was named deputy director of Editura PMR, later Editura Politică, the publishing house of the Communist Party and also held the Chair of Marxism-Leninism at the University of Bucharest. His wife held a Professorship at Bucharest's Medical School.

Between 1958 and 1960, Tismăneanu was investigated for "revisionist-type deviationism" (deviaţionism de tip revizionist), the inquiry ending with him being expelled from the Party in 1960. Allowed to rejoin in 1964, after the death of Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej, and then worked as a writer for Editura Meridiane.

He was married to Hermina Marcu Sohn, who had trained as a physician, herself a communist activist. Their son, Vladimir Tismăneanu, is a political scientist who headed the Presidential Commission for the Study of the Communist Dictatorship in Romania, which presented a report on the crimes of the communist regime in Romania.
