Uricani (Romanian pronunciation: [uriˈkanʲ]; Hungarian: Hobicaurikány) is a town in the Jiu Valley region of Hunedoara County, in southern Transylvania, Romania.

Uricani is first mentioned in a certified document dated 1888, when the locality was referred to as Hobicza-Urikány (in Romanian both Hobiceni-Uricani and Uricani-Hobiceni versions were used).

The name of Uricani is derived from the union of two villages, Hobița (Hobica, listed in documents from 1473 first as Ohabycza) and Uric (Urik, from 1473 first as Wryk) from Hațeg Land.

It administers two villages, Câmpu lui Neag (Kimpulunyág) and Valea de Brazi.

The city location lies on the western side of Jiu Valley and at the foot of the Retezat Mountains, with the geographical coordinates of 23° 10′ meridian, east longitude and 45° 25′ parallel, north latitude.
