Sebeș (; German: Mühlbach; Hungarian: Szászsebes; Transylvanian Saxon: Melnbach) is a city in Alba County, central Romania, southwestern Transylvania.

== Geography == The city lies in the Mureș River valley and straddles the river Sebeș. It is at the crossroads of two main highways in Romania: the A1 motorway coming from Sibiu and going towards Deva and the A10 motorway going towards Alba Iulia and Cluj-Napoca. Their national road counterparts passing through the city are the DN1 (E81) and the DN7 (E68), both of which also come from Sibiu.
