The Târnava Mică River ("Small Târnava"; Hungarian: Kis-Küküllő; German: Kleine Kokel) is a river in Romania. Its source is in the Eastern Carpathian Mountains, in Harghita County. It flows through the Romanian counties Harghita, Mureş, and Alba, more or less parallel to and north from the Târnava Mare River. The cities of Sovata and Târnăveni lie on the Târnava Mică. It joins the Târnava Mare River in Blaj, forming the Târnava.
