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

It is believed that there has been an earlier rural settlement in this area, with Romanian and Pecheneg population, situated east of today's city.

Johannes Tröster's work "Das alt und neue Teutsche Dacia" published in 1666 in Nuremberg sets the date of the city's founding in 1150.

A royal deed from 1387 enshrines the right of Sebeș to build fortress walls, although their construction had probably begun before the middle of the 14th century.
