Hungary–Romania border
The Hungary–Romania border is the state border between Hungary and Romania. It was established in 1920 by an international commission (the "Lord Commission") presided over by geographers including Emmanuel de Martonne and Robert Ficheux, and historians Robert William Seton-Watson and Ernest Denis. The border was set by the Treaty of Trianon which was signed on 4 June 1920.

The border is 448 km (278 mi) long, demarcated by pillars and approximately 20 km (12 mi) of the Mureș/Maros River.
The border has been stable since the end of World War II, and is no longer officially in dispute between the countries.
The Hungary–Romania border is an internal border of the European Union. However, as of 2024, Romania is still not a full member of the Schengen Zone, so still conducts full border checks when crossing by land.
