Teodor Aaron (or Aron) (1803 – February 6, 1867) was a Romanian Greek Catholic clergyman and historian.
He was born in the village of Cikendál, Transylvania, now Țichindeal, Romania. He studied at the Greek Catholic Church in Bihar County, and graduated from Central Seminary in Budapest in 1828. Aaron was ordained on October 30, 1829. After that he worked as a teacher and principal at the Belényes (Beiuș) Gymnasium (1830-1835). In 1835 he became a priest in Galsa, and in 1839 in Arad. In 1842, he started working as an "revisor" of the Romanian-language books published by the Buda University Press. From 1848 he was a priest in Gyalány (Delani), and only returned to Buda in 1851 as the Romanian government's official translator. In 1855, he became a priest in Oradea, and in 1857 in Lugoj.
