The Sebeș River ( Hungarian: Sebes, German: Mühlbach ) is a tributary of the Mureș River in Transylvania, Romania. The upper reach of the river (upstream of Lake Oașa) is also known as Frumoasa River. The Romanian and Hungarian name Sebeș and Sebes originate from the Hungarian adjective sebes meaning "speedy", while the German name means Mill Creek.
