Corneliu Stroe (22 October 1949 – 11 June 2017) was a Romanian drummer and percussionist.
Born in Bucharest, he moved at the age of 2 to Mediaș due to his father's job. He grew up there, and later became a member of several local bands, among them Orfeus.
Between 1981 and 2005 he was a member of Creative, together with Harry Tavitian, with whom he participated in many Romanian jazz festivals: Sibiu, Galați, Ploiești, etc.
His daughter, Roxana Stroe, is arguably the only female blues guitarist in România.
