Atanasie Anghel Popa (died 19 August 1713) was a Romanian Greek-Catholic bishop of Gyulafehérvár (today Alba Iulia, Romania) between 1698 and 1713. He was the successor to Teophilus Seremi in the seat of Mitropoliei Bălgradului. Through his continued efforts, he perfected the union of the Romanians living in Transylvania and other parts of Hungary with the Catholic Church.[1]
