Năsăud County is one of the historic counties of Transylvania, Romania. The county seat was Bistrița.[1]

In 1938, the county was disestablished and incorporated into the newly formed Ținutul Mureș.[2] In September 1940, following the Second Vienna Award, the county was annexed by Hungary and incorporated into the Beszterce-Naszód County until 1944. In 1945, the county was re-established under the Romanian rule and it was abolished 10 years later by the Communist regime.[2]
