Neo-Legionarism (Romanian: Neolegionarism) is a neo-fascist movement in Romania that emerged in the 1990s following the fall of communism in the country. It is endorsed by a series of organizations that claim to be the successors of the Iron Guard (whose followers were known as "Legionnaires") founded by Corneliu Zelea Codreanu in 1927. Its main characteristics include antisemitism, Eastern Orthodoxy, ethnic nationalism and mysticism.^[1]

Links between neo-Legionary organizations and priests of the Romanian Orthodox Church are a documented phenomenon in Romania. Neo-Legionarism has kept the "prison saints [ro]" movement active.^[2] In 2014, a monk at Petru Vodă Monastery in Neamț County delivered a pro-Iron Guard sermon, prompting the church hierarchy to condemn him. Earlier, a group of nuns had sung the Legionnaire tune Sfânta tinerețe legionară ("Holy Legionnaire Youth") for the birthday of prominent monk Iustin Pârvu [ro].^[3]

Noua Dreaptă ("New Right") and the Everything For the Country Party have been described as neo-Legionary.^[2] The latter was founded in 1993 and drew support from members of the original Iron Guard.^[4] The Alliance for the Union of Romanians has also been associated with this current, although its leaders have denied any such connection;^[2] and so have been the United Romania Party by Vice^[5] and S.O.S. Romania party leader Diana Șoșoacă.^{[6][failed verification]}
