The Moldova (Romanian: Moldova, pronounced [molˈdova] ⓘ) is a river in Romania, in the historical region of Moldavia. It is a right tributary of the river Siret.[1][2][3] The river rises from the Obcina Feredeu Mountains of Bukovina in Suceava County and joins the Siret in Cotu Vameș, east of the city of Roman in Neamț County.[4] The total length of the Moldova from its source to its confluence with the Siret is 213 km (132 mi).[2][5][6] Its basin area is 4,299 km2 (1,660 sq mi).[2][5][6]

The river gave its name to the Principality of Moldavia, whose first capital, Târgul Moldovei (now Baia), is on the Moldova River. The etymology of the name is disputed.
