Fundu Moldovei (German: Luisenthal/Louisenthal or Fundul Moldawi/Fundu-Moldowi)[2][3] is a commune located in Suceava County, Bukovina, northeastern Romania. It is composed of ten villages, namely: Botuș, Botușel, Braniștea, Colacu, Delnița, Deluț, Fundu Moldovei, Obcina Ursului, Plai, and Smida Ungurenilor.

The commune was previously inhabited by a significant community of Zipser Germans (part of the larger Bukovina German community of Suceava County and Bukovina) during the modern period up until the mid 20th century.[4]

Fundu Moldovei is also part of the Via Transilvanica long-distance trail.[5]
