Octavian Utalea (11 February 1868, Maieru (Hungarian: Major), Beszterce-Naszód, Kingdom of Hungary - present-day Bistriţa-Năsăud County, Romania – ?) became mayor of the municipality of Cluj, Romania on 1 May 1923. He served as mayor until 14 March 1926. Among the accomplishments of his term in office were the opening of an Army Club (Cerc Militar) in the Reduta Palace and the founding of a School of Fine Arts (today's School of Plastic Arts) in the Central Park.
He took classes at the law faculty of Cluj's Hungarian University, graduating in 1906.
