Palinka (Hungarian: pálinka; Romanian: palincă) is a traditional type of brandy that is produced in Hungary and in the Transylvania region of Romania.

It is usually made out plums, apples, pears or apricots and is double distilled. The contents of alcohol are between 50 and 65-70%. A less alcoholic version (around 40% alcohol content) is called ţuică in Romania.

In 2004, Hungary (along with 4 counties of Austria) received the exclusive right for the name "pálinka" as a trademark from the European Union, given to beverages distilled cleanly from fruits.
