Ţara Moţilor, also known as Ţara de Piatră ("The Stone Land") is an ethnogeographical region of Romania in the Apuseni Mountains, on the superior basin of the Arieş River and Crişul Alb River rivers.

Ţara Moţilor's inhabitants are know as "moţi". Some scholars consider the 'moţi' as descendants of the Celts, because of their blonde hair and blue eyes, elements more frequent here than among other Romanians; however, the hypothesis is not accepted by mainstream historians due to its lack of consistency. Yet another group of scholars consider them the descendants of Germanic tribes (Gepids). Due to their blonde hair and blue eyes, so far seventeen theories regarding their origins have been formulated. The first, and most probable and accepted theory, is that they are direct descendants of the Dacians.

They live in scattered villages at altitudes up to about 1,400 m, higher than any other permanent settlements in Romania. The 'Ţara Moţilor' traditionally begins at Bistra, just before Câmpeni, formerly called Topani by the motis themselves or Topesdorf by the Austrians, traditionally considered the 'capital' of the 'moti', while the villages down the Arieş River towards Turda such as Lupsa, Salciua etc. are inhabited by the 'mocani'. The 'moţi' were also known under the name of 'topi' (in German 'Die Zopfen'). Before the last change of the old administrative boundaries there existed an 'Arieş' county in its own right.
