Tighina County was between 1925 and 1938 a county (Romanian: județ) in the Kingdom of Romania, and, between 1998 and 2003, a major subdivision (Județ) of Moldova with its capital at Căușeni.
The county neighboured the Soviet Union to the east, the counties of Lăpușna to the north, Cahul to the west and Cetatea Albă to the south.
The county consisted of four districts (plăși):
After the 1938 Administrative and Constitutional Reform, this county merged with the counties of Lăpușna, Cetatea Albă and Orhei to form Ținutul Nistru.
It bordered Ukraine, Transnistria, Lăpușna County and Chișinău County.
Major cities in the county included Bender, Cainari, Căușeni, Olănești, and Ștefan Vodă.
Currently, the city Bender and six villages are in the neutral zone under the authority of the Joint Control Commission, but are administered by authorities subordinated to the breakaway territory of Transnistria.
