The Bistriţa (Hungarian: Beszterce) is a river in the Romanian region of Transylvania, county Bistriţa-Năsăud. It is sometimes referred to as Bistriţa Ardeleană River

Near the city of Bistriţa it flows into the Şieu, a tributary of the Someşul Mare River.

The upper reach of the river, upstream of the junction with the Bârgău River in the village of Prundu Bârgăului is also known, locally, as Bistricioara River [1]
