Sângeorz-Băi (Hungarian: Oláhszentgyörgy) is a well-known spa resort in the beautiful mountain region of Bistriţa-Năsăud County in Transylvania, Romania.

The town lies on the banks of the river Somesul Mare and is popular with visitors seeking rural tranquillity, traditional hospitality, and the unspoilt Romanian country side around the Cormaia valley.
