Bucinişu (Romanian pronunciation: [but͡ʃiˈniʃu]), composed of two villages, Bucinişu and Bucinişu Mic, is a small commune in Olt County in the region of southern Oltenia, Romania. It has mainly developed throughout the time on the practice of agriculture. Also, Bucinişu is representative for the habits and traditions from this part of Romania.
Its name draws its origin from a sound instrument used by the drovers that would tend their flocks of sheep in that region, an instrument called "bucium" or "bucin".
