Chinteni (formerly known as Chintău;[3];Hungarian: Kajántó; German: Kallentau) is a commune in Cluj County, Transylvania, Romania.

It is composed of nine villages: Chinteni, Deușu (Diós), Feiurdeni (Fejérd), Măcicașu (Magyarmacskás), Pădureni (Fejérdi fogadók), Săliștea Veche (Szellőcskevölgy), Sânmărtin (Szentmártonmacskás), Satu Lung (Hosszúmacskás) and Vechea (Bodonkút).

Under the direction of professor Vasile Suciu, a small museum was set up at the local school, with artifacts discovered in the area.

Until the 1980s it had a high population, but the growing industry in the nearby Cluj-Napoca combined with a difficult commute resulted in a massive migration of the young families to the city.

The causes are thin time the low price of houses and the high cost of living in the city for the lower income families.
