Cenad (Hungarian: Nagycsanád, during the Dark Ages Marosvár; German: Großtschanad, archaically Maroschburg; Serbian: Нађчанад, romanizedNađčanad; Latin: Chanadinum) is a commune in Timiș County, Romania. It is composed of a single village, Cenad. The village serves as a customs point on the border with Hungary. Today's village was formed by merging Cenadu Mare ("Great Cenad" or "Rascian Cenad"; Serbian: Српски Чанад, romanizedSrpski Čanad) and Cenadu Vechi ("Old Cenad" or "German Cenad"; German: Deutsch Tschanad) in the 20th century.
