The Mureş (Romanian) or Maros (Hungarian) is an approximately 725 km long river, rising in the Giurgeu Range in the Eastern Carpathian Mountains, Romania. It joins the Tisza river at Szeged in southeastern Hungary. It flows through the Romanian counties Harghita, Mureş, Alba, Hunedoara and Arad, and the Hungarian county Csongrád. The cities Reghin, Târgu Mureş, Aiud, Alba Iulia, Deva, and Arad in Romania and Makó and Szeged in Hungary all lie on the Mureş.

The Mureş was known as the river Marisus in antiquity. The Mureş was also known in German as the Mieresch and Marosch owing to Transylvanian Saxon settlements and one-time Austrian Habsburg rule.
