Abaújvár is a village in northeastern Hungary, next to the Slovak border. It lies northeast of Miskolc, and 18 km south of Košice (Kassa), Slovakia.

== Name == The first part of the name shows that the medieval castle was owned by the Aba genus. Nearby was an obsolete hillfort called Óvár, meaning "old castle", that's why the second part of the name is -újvár, meaning "new castle".
