Curtici (Hungarian: Kürtös, German: Kurtitsch) is a town located in Arad County, far western Romania.

Curtici is a border town between Hungary and Romania, on the Romanian side. It is an especially important rail border crossing, as it is the main crossing between trains going from Hungary and Romania, especially those between Budapest and Bucharest.

The town's Hungarian name means "Trumpeter", the German and Romanian names derive from that.
