The Roşia River or Valea Roşie River (Hungarian: Rossia-patak or Remete-patak) is a river in Romania, Bihor County, tributary of the Crişul Negru River.
The river starts at the Roşia karst spring in the Pădurea Craiului Mountains. It flows through the hills of the Beiuş Depression and joins Crişul Negru River near Petrani village. The most important villages on the river are Roşia, Remetea and Pocola.
Roşia River had two Hungarian names. Originally it was called Remete-patak (referring to Remetea/Magyarremete village on its shore). That name was used until the 18th century, last time consequently in the 1720 conscription. During this century the remaining small community of Hungarians in the valley adopted the more frequently used Romanian name in the form of Rossia-patak. This name has been used since then. The older name means hermit in Hungarian.
