Satulung (Hungarian: Kővárhosszúfalu, German: Langendorf) is a village in Maramureș County, Romania. Its name, translated in English, means "The Long Village". It is the seat of the Commune of Satulung, Maramureș.
The village was first mentioned in 1405. A stone castle was built in the village by the Dragfi family, owners of the village. After the Dragfi family became extinct, the property of the castle reverted in 1470 to the Belteki family.
In the 17th century, the property was purchased by the counts Teleki. A first castle was built by count Mihály Teleki de Szék. During the reign of empress Maria Theresia, Count Sámuel Teleki (1710-1783) built a new castle, which is at present a historic monument.
