The Mörrumsån is a 185 km long river in southern Sweden .

Mörrumsån rises near Lindshammar and initially flows through numerous lakes, including the Madkroken (196 m), Örken (188 m), Helgasjön (163 m), Salen (142 m) and Åsnen (138 m). To the west of the village of Urshult it leaves the Åsnen and to the south of the village of Ryd it no longer flows through any lakes.
