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

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