The river Someş in Romanian or Szamos in Hungarian, flows through Romania and Hungary.

There are two headstreams, the "Someşul Mare", rising from the Rodna Mountains in Bistriţa-Năsăud County and the "Someşul Mic" rising from the Apuseni Mountains in Cluj County, which is in turn formed by the confluence of another two headstreams: the "Someşul Cald" and "Someşul Rece".

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

The river Someş was known in antiquity by the name "Samus".
