Râmnicu Sărat (also spelled Rîmnicu Sărat, IPA pronunciation /'rɨm.ni.ku sə'rʌt/) is a city in the Buzău County, Romania.
The city rises from a marshy plain, east of the Carpathians, and west of the cornlands of southern Moldavia. Salt and petroleum are worked in the mountains, and there is a considerable trade in agricultural produce and preserved meat.
