Topraisar (Romanian pronunciation: [tropajˈsar]) is a commune in the Constanța County, Northern Dobruja, Romania.
The commune includes four villages:
- Topraisar (historical name: Crimean Tatar: Topraysar)
- Biruința (historical name: Crimean Tatar: Muratan, probably rounded out phonetically from Murat Han)
- Movilița (historical name: Crimean Tatar: Musurat, probably rounded out phonetically from Musavvirat; for short periods in the 20th century it has also been named Regele Mihai and Filimon Sîrbu (1948-1964) )
- Potârnichea (historical name: Crimean Tatar: Abdullahköy)
Topraisar and the surrounding areas were the site of fierce fighting in 1916 during two battles of the World War I: the First and Second Battle of Cobadin.
