Curtici (Hungarian: Kürtös, German: Kurtitsch) is a town located in Arad County, in western Romania.

It is the most important railway meeting point of Central Europe with the western part of Romania.

[3] At the 2011 census, the town had 6,849 inhabitants, of which 86.62% were Romanians, 9.35% Roma, 3.19% Hungarians, 0.11% Germans, 0.21% Ukrainians, and 0.1% are of other or undeclared nationalities.

Due to the agricultural potential of the zone, to its favourable position from the western border of Romania, to its closeness to Arad, to the presence of the main railway making connection with Western Europe (the railway station of Curtici was inaugurated in 1921, simultaneously with the formation of the customs) the town is an important economic pole.

The town attracts investments due to the establishment of the Arad-Curtici duty-free zone.
