Iuliu Barasch (1815–1863) was a Ukrainian-born Jewish physician and writer who made his career in Romania.
Born at Brody, he moved to Bucharest, and was an ardent Romanian patriot. A friend of C.A. Rosetti and Ion Heliade Rădulescu, he became a professor at Bucharest's School of Medicine and Pharmacy. He was a popularizer of medical science and of natural science in general. In 1856–1859 he edited a journal Isus sau Natura (Jesus or Nature).
He is memorialized in Bucharest's historically Jewish Văcăreşti neighborhood: the Baraşeum Theater, now home to the State Jewish Theater; the adjoining Baraşeum clinic; and the street that runs in front of the theater, formerly Ionescu de la Brad, now str. Dr. Iuliu Barasch.
