Anişoara Cuşmir-Stanciu (born June 28, 1962 in Brăila). is a former Romanian athlete who competed mainly in the Long Jump.
Cuşmir-Stanciu improved the long jump world record four times between 1982 and 1983. She lost to Heike Daute (nee Dreschler) of East Germany in the 1983 World Championships at Helsinki. But the Eastern bloc boycott of the 1984 games left Stanciu an easy winner with a leap of 6.96.
