Piaţa Romană (meaning "Roman Square" in Romanian) is a major traffic intersection in Sector 1, central Bucharest.

The most important of the streets meeting at Piaţa Romană are L. Catargiu Boulevard (which runs northwest from toward Piaţa Victoriei) and Magheru Boulevard (which runs south by southeast toward University Square). These two streets also constitute the route of the M2 metrou (subway) line. The square is served by the Piaţa Romană metro station (line M2), on Magheru Boulevard. Dacia Boulevard runs roughly east-west through the square.

The main building of the Academy of Economic Studies is located to the north of the square.

A 1988 album and song of Nicu Alifantis is named "Piaţa Romană nr. 9", after the square.
