Țara Litua (Romanian: "The Litua Country") was a country from around Severin to the Olt River. The first mention of the country was in 1247, when Litovoi was its voivode. The country existed until 1330 when Basarab I founded Wallachia.

The voivodes of the country were:

Bezerenbam; fl. 1241; possible predecessor of Litovoi.
Litovoi ; fl. 1247 - 1279 ; occupies the countries of John, Farcaș and Seneslau, killed by the Hungarians for being against them.
Bărbat ; 1279 - 1290; the brother of Litovoi, vassal of Hungary.
Thocomerius ; 1290 - 1310 ; son of Bărbat; thought by some historians (such as Neagu Djuvara) to be another name of Radu Negru.^[1]
Basarab I ; 1310 - 1330 ; from 1330 voivode of Wallachia.
