The Slovaks ("Slováci" in Slovak, "slovaci" in Romanian) are an ethnic minority in Romania, numbering 17,199 people according to the 2002 census and hence making up 0.1% of the total population. Slovaks mainly live in western Romania, with the largest populations found in Bihor and Arad counties, where they make up 1.22% and 1.25% of the population, respectively. The largest concentration of ethnic Slovaks can be found in the town of Nădlac, Arad County, where they make up almost half of the population.

As an officially-recognized ethnic minority, Slovaks have one seat reserved in the Romanian Chamber of Deputies.
