Pogoanele (Romanian pronunciation: [poˈɡo̯anele]) is a town in the southeastern part of Buzău County, Muntenia, Romania. The town administers one village, Căldărăști.
Pogoanele was declared a town in April 1989, as a result of the Romanian rural systematization program.[3] It is located in the south-central part of the county, in the middle of the Bărăgan Plain, at about 40 kilometres (25 mi) from Buzău, the county seat. It is traversed by the DN2C road, which runs from Buzău to Slobozia. The railway station (3 kilometres (1.9 mi) from the town center) is on the CFR line connecting Urziceni and Făurei.
Natives of the town include Ion A. Rădulescu-Pogoneanu and Ilie Stan.
