Cricău (Hungarian: Boroskrakkó; German: Krakau) is a commune located in the central part of Alba County, Transylvania, Romania.

It has a population of 1,879 as of 2021 and is composed of three villages: Craiva (Királypataka), Cricău, and Tibru (Tibor).

The Dacian fortress on top of Piatra Craivii is believed by many archaeologists to be the location of Apulon.

Apulon was an important Dacian political, economic and social center, the capital of the Apuli tribe.

It is also depicted in the Tabula Peutingeriana as an important city named Apula, at the cross road of two main routes: one coming from Blandiana, the other from Acidava.
