Samoilă Mârza (1886–1967) was a Romanian photographer. A native of Transylvania region and a veteran of World War I, he is best known for taking the only photographs of the Great National Assembly at Alba Iulia [Marea Adunare Naţională de la Alba Iulia] that proclaimed the Union of Transylvania with Romania on 1 December 1918. The day is celebrated as Romania's national holiday, and, with time, Mârza's images acquired political and documentary significance.
