Nădlac (Slovak: Nadlak, Hungarian: Nagylak) is a town in western Romania, Arad County. A former part of the town lies across the border with Hungary; this village is called Nagylak. An international border town, Nădlac is the main border crossing into western Romania from Hungary. It is also a centre of the Lutheran Slovakian community in Romania.

The town's name in Hungarian language means "big place". The Romanian and Slovakian names derive from that.
