Islaz, Teleorman is a commune in southern Romania, located in southwestern Teleorman County, 10 km west of Turnu Măgurele. It is part of the historical province Oltenia, and comprises two villages (Islaz and Moldoveni).

The village was first attested on July 9, 1569, and, until 1950, belonged to the former Romanaţi County. It was made notorious in 1848, as the site where the Wallachian Revolution erupted, and where the Proclamation of Islaz, listing revolutionary goals, was publicly read (June 9, 1848).
