Romani CRISS (full name: Roma Center for Social Intervention and Studies, or Centrul Romilor pentru Intervenţie Socială şi Studii in Romania) is a Romanian non-government organisation which seeks to protect the rights of the country's Roma minority and to prevent discrimination against the Roma. It also conducts a series of projects in order to improve the situation of the Roma in education and health care.

The Roma, which make up 2.4% of Romania's population, are the country's most disadvantaged ethnic group. Romani CRISS was founded on April 4, 1993. The current executive director of Romani CRISS is Margareta Matache.
