Sud-Vest Oltenia (English South-West Oltenia) is a development region in Romania. Like other development regions, it does not have any administrative powers; its main function is to coordinate regional development projects and manage funds from the European Union.
Sud-Vest Development Region is roughly coterminous with the historic region of Oltenia (82,4%), which is why it is sometimes referred to as Regiunea de dezvoltare Sud-Vest Oltenia. The Danube forms the natural boundary between Romania and Serbia to the southwest and Bulgaria to the south.
