Ciucea (Romanian: [ˈtʃjutʃe̯a]; Hungarian: Csucsa [ˈt͡ʃut͡ʃɒ]; German: Tschetsch) is a commune of Cluj County, Transylvania, Romania, situated 20 km (12 mi) northwest of Huedin on the right bank of the Crișul Repede River. It is composed of two villages, Ciucea and Vânători (Börvény). It also included three other villages from 1968 to 2002, when these were split off to form Negreni Commune.
