Magyarcsanád (Romanian: Cenadul Unguresc; Serbian: Чанад, romanized: Čanad) is a multi-ethnic village located in Csongrád-Csanád County, southeastern Hungary, near the Mureș (Maros) River. The Maros is a border-river here between southern Hungary and northern Romania.
The population is mainly Hungarian, but many Romanians, Serbs and Romani people also live here. Magyarcsanád has four churches: a Roman Catholic, a Calvinist, a Serbian Orthodox, and a Romanian Orthodox one.
The village has an own outskirt called Bökény directly near the Maros. Here is a tumulus (kunhalom) in which archeological artifacts were found.
Magyarcsanád has a partner-settlement, Comloșu Mare, in Timiș County, Romania.
An old stone cross was erected near Magyarcsanád in the Middle Ages. The cross still stands.
There is a small isle called 'Senki szigete' (English: No Man's Isle) some kilometers eastward from Magyarcsanád on the border river Maros. The isle is inhabited by Phalacrocoracidae (Phalacrocorax carbo).
