Ion T. Costin (19 January 1887 – 12 January 1940) was a Bessarabian Romanian politician. He was born at a time when his native region, as the eastern half of Moldavia, had been taken over by the Russian Empire and organized into a Bessarabia Governorate. Following the October Revolution, he took part in the affairs of the Moldavian Democratic Republic as a member of Sfatul Țării, voting for union with the Kingdom of Romania. Active in its politics, he died several months before the Soviet occupation of Bessarabia.
