The river Someș (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈsomeʃ]; Hungarian Szamos) flows through Romania and Hungary.

It rises from two headstreams, the Someșul Mare, in the Rodna Mountains in Bistriţa-Năsăud County and the Someșul Mic in the Apuseni Mountains of Cluj County. The latter is in turn formed by the confluence of another two headstreams: the Someșul Cald and Someșul Rece.[1]

The Someșul Mare and the Someșul Mic meet at Dej, from where the Someș flows westward, through Jibou and Satu Mare, to join the Tisza in Hungary, near Vásárosnamény.

The river Someș was known in antiquity by the name Samus.
