Roşiorii de Vede (Roşiori de Vede or, in old versions, Ruşii de Vede) is a municipality in Teleorman, Wallachia, one of the oldest cities in Romania. It was first mentioned in a document which dates back to 1385, when the city was visited by two German pilgrims who were returning from Jerusalem and stopped for a few days in a town they called Russenart.

Roşiori de Vede was one of the most important military and cultural cities in the Wallachian region. Several Romanian personalities were born in and around the city, such as Radu Grămăticu, Alexandru Depărăţeanu, Gala Galaction, Petru Bellu, Zaharia Stancu, and Marin Preda.
