The Mulde, also known as the United Mulde or Vereinigte Mulde, is a left, non-navigable tributary of the Elbe. It is formed southeast of Leipzig near Sermuth (Saxony) by the union of two large source rivers, the longer Zwickauer Mulde and the Freiberger Mulde, which has a larger discharge and drains a larger catchment area.

The river's catchment area covers large parts of Saxony and in particular the vast majority of the northern slopes of the Ore Mountains. With a water flow of almost 73 m³/s at the mouth[8], it is the fourth largest tributary of the Elbe.
