Voluntari is a town in Ilfov county, Romania. It is located at a distance of 1 Km from Bucharest (2 Km of the National Road) and is thus frequently viewed as a suburb of Bucharest.

The population is 30,016 inhabitants according to the 2002 census, with an ethnical composition of 97.6% Romanians, 1.7% Rroma and 0.7% of other ethnic groups.

The low price of terrain, the immediate vicinity of the city of Bucharest and the easy and reliable access to both the railway network and the road network have allowed a steady development of industrial and commercial facilities, especially in the light industry and import/export commerce. The town's output estimate has increased by over 25% from 2001 to 2005. Even with such high development rates, many residents remain unemployed or commute to Bucharest.

Voluntari was awarded city status in 2004, but this decision is seen by many to be a political one, meant to reward the inhabitants for their voting preferences.

With 2.2% of the populate of Chinese ethnicity, Voluntari has one of the largest proportions of Chinese people in Romania. The Roma minority, which makes up 20%, is also by far higher than the national average.
