Csanád was an administrative county (comitatus) of the Kingdom of Hungary. Its territory is now in western Romania and southeastern Hungary. The capital of the county was Makó.
Csanád county shared borders with the Hungarian counties Csongrád, Békés, Arad and Torontál. The river Maros (now Mureş) formed its southern border. Its area was 1715 km2 around 1910.
In 1920, the Treaty of Trianon assigned a small area in the southeast of the county (Nădlac and Şeitin) to Romania. The rest of the county was united with parts of Torontál county (a small area south of Szeged) and Arad county (a small area south of Békéscsaba) to form the new county of Csanád-Arad-Torontál.
