Ormeniș (German: Ermesch; Hungarian: Ürmös) is a commune in Brașov County, Transylvania, Romania. It is composed of a single village, Ormeniș. It also included Augustin village until 2005, when that village was split off to form a separate commune.

The commune is located in the northeastern part of the county, 45 km (28 mi) north of the county seat, Brașov. It sits on the left bank of the Olt River, which forms the border with Covasna County to the east and to the north. It neighbors Apața commune to the south and Racoș commune to the west.

The Ormeniș train station serves Line 300 of the CFR network, which connects Bucharest with the Hungarian border near Oradea.

At the 2011 census, 43.3% of inhabitants were Roma, 39.3% Hungarians and 17.3% Romanians.
