Alexandru Sterca-?ulu?iu, also called Alexandru Sterca-?ulu?iu de Carpini? (February 15, 1794 – September 7, 1867), was an ethnic Romanian Eastern Catholic cleric in Imperial Austrian Transylvania, and the Metropolitan of the Transylvanian Greek Catholic Church.
He was the brother of 1848 revolutionary commander Ioan Sterca-?ulu?iu. During his service the Diocese of Alba Iulia and Fagaras (centred at Blaj) was removed from the jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Esztergom (in Hungary) and became an ecclesiastic province in its own right, with the Dioceses of Oradea Mare, Gherla and Lugoj as suffragans (subordinate dioceses).
