Valu lui Traian (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈvalu luj traˈjan]; historical name: Hasancea, Turkish: Hasançay) is a commune in Constanța County, Northern Dobruja, Romania.
The commune was established in 1897, under the name Hasancea. In 1925 it was renamed Valu lui Traian (Trajan's Wall), after the vallum located nearby. In 1967, the village of Valea Seacă (historical name: Omurcea, Turkish: Ömürçay) was merged into Valu lui Traian, now the commune's only village.
