The 'Reformed Church in Romania' (
Hungarian: ''Romániai Református Egyház'';
Romanian: ''Biserica Reformată din România'') is the organization of the
Calvinist church in Romania. The majority of its followers are of
Hungarian origin and Hungarian is the main church language. The large majority of the Church's parishes are located in
Transylvania; according to the 2002 census, 698,550 people or 3.2% of the total population belong to the Reformed Church.

The religious institution is composed of two bishoprics: the
Piatra Craiului District and
Transylvania District, with headquarters at
Oradea and
Cluj-Napoca respectively.
Together with the
Unitarian Church of Transylvania and the two Romanian
Lutheran churches (the
Evangelical Lutheran Church in Romania and the
Evangelical Church of Augustan Confession), the Calvinist community runs the
Protestant Theological Institute of Cluj.
