Țara Făgărașului (also Romanian: Țara Oltului; German: Fogaraschland or Fogarascherland, Hungarian: Fogarasföld, Latin: terra Fugaras or terra Alutus) is a historical region in central Romania, located in the southern part of Transylvania. It is named after the Făgăraș Mountains, which dominate the landscape of the area.
The region, which comprises parts of Brașov and Sibiu counties, is bordered to the north by the Olt River, and to the south by the Făgăraș Mountains, with its historical center in the Făgăraș Citadel.
