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,[1] and historians Robert William Seton-Watson and Ernest Denis.[2] 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.[3]
The Hungary–Romania border is an internal border of the European Union. As of May 2024, Romania is a partial member of the Schengen Zone, so full border checks when crossing by air and sea are not required, unlike crossing by land. The date for opening land borders without border control has yet to be decided.[4]
