Ţinutul Mureş (or Ţinutul Alba-Iulia) was one of the ten ţinuturi (regions) of Romania, founded in 1938 after King Carol II initiated an institutional reform by modifying the 1923 Constitution and the law of territorial administration. It comprised most of Transylvania, and included part of Székely Land. Its capital was the city of Alba-Iulia. Ţinutul Mureş ceased to exist following the territorial loss of Romania to the Axis powers in 1940.

The Coat of Arms is party per cross in 9 equal squares, representing the former 9 counties (ţinuturi) of Greater Romania (71 in total) which it had included. Four of the squares, forming the arms of a Greek cross, are of or. The four squares forming the corners of the shield are of azure. The square in the heart of the shield is gules, and bares an or Romanian Crown (in recollection of the 1922 Alba-Iulia coronation of Ferdinand I and Marie of Edinburgh as King and Queen of Greater Romania).
After the 1938 Administrative and Constitutional Reform, the previous 71 counties lost their authority. The list below just helps drawing the map.
In 1939 Năsăud County was ceded to Ţinutul Crişuri in exchange for Turda County.
