Fundu Moldovei (German: Luisenthal/Louisenthal or Fundul Moldawi/Fundu-Moldowi) 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.
Fundu Moldovei is also part of the Via Transilvanica long-distance trail.
