Nalbant is a commune in Tulcea County, Northern Dobruja, Romania. It is composed of three villages: Nalbant, Nicolae Bălcescu (since 1948; until 1923 Bașchioi; Principele Mihai from 1923 to 1948) and Trestenic.

The commune's name comes from Turkish, nalbant from Persian nal-band meaning blacksmith (nal – nail, horse shoe, band – to bond, to tie).

Nalbant is located in the central part of the county, 24 km (15 mi) southwest of the county seat, Tulcea. It is crossed by national roads DN22A [ro], which runs from Tulcea to Hârșova, and DN22F [ro], which connects Nalbant to Horia.
