Pianu (German: Pien; Hungarian: Felsőpián) is a commune located in Alba County, Transylvania, Romania. It has a population of 3,390 and is composed of five villages: Pianu de Jos (Alsópián), Pianu de Sus (the commune center), Plaiuri (Plaintelep), Purcăreți (Sebespurkerec) and Strungari (Sztrugár).

The commune is situated in the southwestern part of Alba County, some 25 km south of Alba Iulia. It is traversed from South to North (first through Pianu de Sus and then Pianu de Jos) by the Pianul river.[3]
