Matei Castriș was a Romanian Brigadier General who was one of the generals of the Romanian Land Forces in the First World War. He served as division commander in the 1916 campaign. He was commanded due to the hesitant manner of leading the subordinate troops, which led to the failure of the occupation of the city of Sibiu, during the initial period of the campaign.
