The Sub Carpathians of Curvature, Ciucaș, or Curvature Carpathians (Romanian: Carpații de Curbură, Hungarian: Kárpátkanyar), are located between Trotus Valley and Slanicul Buzaului Valley in Romania. They are a range of high hills (800-900 m), with knolls and parallel ridges (Magura Odobești), which separate two geologic depressions.

The Sub Carpathians are one of the three traditional classifications of the Eastern Carpathians in Romania:

• in the north, the Carpathians of Maramureș and Bucovina (Munții Carpaţi ai Maramureșului și Bucovinei)
• central, the Carpathians of Moldavia and Transylvania (Munții Carpaţi Moldo-Transilvani)
• and the south, the Curvature Carpathians (Munții Carpați de Curbură)

They include:

• (Munții Bârsei)
• Ciucaș Mountains (Munții Ciucaș)
• Buzău Mountains (Munții Buzăului)
• Vrancea Mountains (Munții Vrancei)
• Baiu Mountains (Munții Baiului or Munții Gârbova)
• (Depresiunea Brașovului)

Geologically, based on the divisions of the Carpathians, all of the Sub Carpathians are part of the Outer Eastern Carpathians.
