Sâncraiu de Mureș (Hungarian: Marosszentkirály, Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈmɒrossɛntkiraːj] meaning "Holy King on the Mureș River") is a commune in Mureș County, Transylvania, Romania composed of two villages: Nazna (Náznánfalva) and Sâncraiu de Mureș. Around 1930, Cornățel (Egerszeg) village was merged into Sâncraiu de Mureș.
