Livezile (until 1960 Cacova; {{langx|de|Laßlenkirch}}, {{langx|hu|Úrháza}}) is a commune located in Alba County, Transylvania, Romania. It is composed of four villages: Izvoarele (Bedellő), Livezile, Poiana Aiudului (Nyírmező), and Vălișoara (Torockógyertyános).

The commune is situated in the northern foothills of the Trascău Mountains, in the Apuseni mountain range. It lies on the banks of the Aiud River; its tributaries, the rivers Inzel and Rachiș, flow through Poiana Aiudului.

Located in the northern part of the county, Livezile is at a distance of {{cvt|7|km}} from the city of Aiud, and {{cvt|38|km}} from the county seat, Alba Iulia. It is crossed by county road DJ107M, which connects Aiud to Iara, in Cluj County.

The road passes through the nearby {{ill|Vălișoarei Gorge|ro|Cheile Vălișoarei}} (Cheile Vălișoarei, or Cheile Aiudului), which belong to the administrative territory of the commune. The gorges are {{convert|1000|m|abbr=off}} long, {{convert|25|-|150|m|abbr=on}} wide, and {{convert|100|-|150|m|abbr=on}} high.
