Udvarhely was an administrative county (comitatus) of the Kingdom of Hungary. Its territory is now in central Romania (eastern Transylvania). The capital of the county was Székelyudvarhely (now Odorheiu Secuiesc).

The Udvarhely region was a settlement (seat) of the Székely, Udvarhelyszék. Udvarhely county was formed in 1876, when the administrative structure of Transylvania was changed. In 1920 by the Treaty of Trianon the county became part of Romania until 1940 when by the Second Vienna Award it was reassigned to Hungary. After the end of World War II it became again part of Romania. Its territory constitutes now the present Romanian counties Harghita, Mureş (a small part in the west) and Covasna (a small part in the south-east).
