Vatra Moldoviței (German: Watra Moldawitza or Moldowitza-Watra)[2] is a commune located in the western-central part of Suceava County, in the historical region of Bukovina, northeastern Romania.

It lies on the banks of Moldovița River and some of its tributaries Ciumârna and Paltinu.

The first official record referring to the Vatra Moldoviței area dates to the time of Alexander the Good, who founded the Moldovița Monastery in 1402.

In the past, in its relatively recent history, more specifically in the modern period and up until the mid 20th century, the commune was also home to a sizeable German population, more specifically Bukovina Germans.

Vatra Moldoviței is also part of the Via Transilvanica long-distance trail.
