Nădlac (; ; ) is a town in Arad County, western Romania. 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 Slovak community in Romania. Situated in the western part of Arad County, from the county capital, at the western border of Romania, Nădlac is the main entrance gate from Western Europe.
== Etymology == The settlement was first mentioned in historical documents in 1313, under the name Noglog. The Hungarian name Nagylak is a compound word formed from nagy, meaning "large" or "great", and lak, meaning "dwelling" or "habitat". The latter is related to the Hungarian verb lakni, meaning "to dwell" or "to reside". The name therefore conveys the meaning of a "large dwelling place" or "large habitat". The Romanian (Nădlac) and Slovak (Nadlak) versions are phonetic adaptations of the Hungarian original.
