Slănic-Moldova (Hungarian: Szlanikfürdő, German: Moldenmarkt) is situated at an elevation of 530 m in the Slănic river valley at the foot of the Nemira mountains in the southwest of Bacău county of Romania, about 54 km southwest of the county seat, Bacău. The municipality has a population of about 4,000 (2021).

The earliest known mention of the Slănic valley and the salt mines of Tâgu Ocna dates from 1757. The beginning of the organization of the current city nucleus is due to the discovery, in 1800/1801, of two mineral springs; further springs were discovered in 1807. The organization of a spa resort lasted several decades, due to the socio-economic conditions. The original owners of the land sis not show interest in the development of the mineral waters, which explains that in maps of Moldova from 1781 and 1890 Slănic is not even mentioned. The development of the spa then really started after 1850. Most of the spa, however, was destroyed during World War I. Restoration worls started in 1922. In 1942, one of the resort's largest floods occurred, destroying all the facilities downstream, in addition to the destruction caused by World War II. After the nationalization in 1948, the resort entered a new stage of development, with new buildings being built and the water and heating networks being expanded. In 1950, the name was changed to Băile Slănic. In 1968 the name was finally changed to Slănic-Moldova.

Glass no. 4696 is decorated by a view of Hotel Racoviță, built in 1887–1912.
