Ținutul Someș was one of the ten ținuturi ("lands") 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 parts of Transylvania, and included the entire regions of Crișana and Maramureș. It was named after the rivers Someș, Crișul Alb, Crișul Negru, and Crișul Repede; its capital was the city of Cluj. Ținutul Someș ceased to exist de facto following the territorial losses of Romania to Hungary in 1940, and de jure on 22 September 1940.
