İğneada ( Thracian Thynias, latin Thynius Propontis ) is a city in Eastern Thrace in Demirköy in the province Kırklareli on the Turkish Black Sea coast.

İğneada is close to the Bulgarian border and is geographically through the Yıldızgebirge (formerly Thynien ) cut off from the rest of the country. It can only be reached via the road Edirne Demirköy or by boat across the harbor located in the neighboring Limanköy.

Historically İğneada is a Thracian settlement of the tribe of Thynen from which is derived its ancient name.

Until 1913 lived here nor Bulgarians, but were expelled during the Second Balkan War (see Thracian Bulgarians ).

The Black Sea is because of its strong currents here something dangerous. In the hinterland there are extensive forests.
