Frătăuții Vechi (German: Alt Fratautz, Alt-Frautautz, Alt-Deutsch-Fratautz) is a commune located in Suceava County, Bukovina, northeastern Romania. It is composed of two villages: namely Frătăuții Vechi and Măneuți (Hungarian: Andrásfalva).

From 1786 to 1941, Măneuți village was inhabited by the Székelys of Bukovina. During the 1780s, 16 ethnic German families settled in Frătăuții Vechi in the course of the Josephine colonization (German: Josephinische Siedlung).
