Sâniob (Hungarian: Szentjobb) is a commune in Bihor County, Crișana, Romania. It is composed of four villages:

  • Cenaloș (Csanálos), to the southeast of Sâniob
  • Ciuhoi (Berettyócsohaj [ˈbɛrɛccoːt͡ʃohɒj]), to the south of Sâniob
  • Sâniob
  • Sfârnaș (Berettyófarnos), to the southwest of Sâniob

Known as Sâniob prior to 1968, the commune's name was changed to Ciuhoi that year and its seat moved to the latter village. In 2012, the commune's previous name was revived and the seat moved back to Sâniob village.
