The March of Pannonia was a frontier march of the Carolingian Empire erected in the mid-ninth century against the threat of Great Moravia and lasting only as long as the strength of that state.
The Pannonian march succeeded the Avar march. It occupied the territory south of the Danube between the Enns River and the Wienerwald. It was referred to in some documents as terminum regni Baioariorum in Oriente or "the end of the kingdom of the Bavarians in the east" and from this is sometimes called the "(Bavarian) eastern march," a term more commonly used to refer to the later March of Austria, established in 976 as a sort of late successor state. The Pannonian march itself does not appear to have survived into the eleventh century.
