Strehaia (Romanian pronunciation: [streˈhaja]) is a town in Mehedinți County, Oltenia, Romania.

The town is located 48 km (30 mi) east of the county seat, Drobeta-Turnu Severin, on national road DN6 (part of the European route E70).

Forests in the vicinity are home to the largest Hermann's tortoise colonies in Oltenia.

As an alternative location for the residence of Oltenian Bans during the early Craiovești rules, the town still features the foundation of the Banate estate house; it had replaced Severin due to frequent Ottoman attacks, and was in turn replaced by Craiova, remaining a largely rural locality.

Strehaia was the site of skirmishes between the Pandurs of Tudor Vladimirescu and troops loyal to Scarlat Callimachi, during the Wallachian uprising of 1821.
