Covurlui County is one of the historic counties of Moldavia, Romania. The county seat was Galați.[1]
In 1938, the county was disestablished and incorporated into the newly formed Ținutul Dunării,[2] but it was re-established in 1940 after the fall of Carol II's regime, only to be abolished 10 years later by the Communist regime.[2]
