Olănești is a village in Ștefan Vodă District, Moldova.

On 23 February 1932, in front of Olănești, at the Soviet bank of the Dniester river, 40 out of a group of 60 unarmed ethnic Romanians from Transnistria who were attempting to escape from the Soviet Union into Romania were massacred by Soviet border troops and by agents of the State Political Directorate (GPU). Victims included women and children. The massacre was discussed on 26 February in the Parliament of Romania, but no measures were taken. Soviet authorities treated all acussations as "capitalist propaganda".
