Vulturu is a commune located in the southeastern part of Vrancea County, Romania.

It is composed of five villages: Boțârlău, Hângulești, Maluri, Vadu-Roșca and Vulturu.

In December 1957–January 1958, during the Communist era, the peasants from Vadu-Roșca and nearby Suraia and Răstoaca resisted the collectivization of agriculture.

The bloodiest repression of a series of peasant revolts against collectivization in Romania took place in Vadu Roșca.

Nine peasants from the area were shot dead, and 17 were wounded; 73 were tried and sentenced to long prison terms.
