The Ghimbășel or Ghimbav is a right tributary of the river Bârsa in Romania. It is formed at the confluence of two headwaters Pârâul Mare and Pârâul Mic. Originally it discharged directly into the Olt River. As part of the development of the lower Bârsa River, the Ghimbășel River was diverted into the Bârsa. The former lower course of the Ghimbășel, downstream of this diversion still exists and is used for the discharge of local inflows.
