The Geoagiu ( Hungarian Bózes-patak ) is a river that flows in the Hunedoara district in the Romanian region of Transylvania .

On its course of the river it crosses a predominantly hilly and wooded landscape with the municipality of Balşa . It mainly serves as a source of water for the residents, but the Romans also made it usable for agriculture.
