The Müglitz is a river, about 49 km long, and a left tributary of the Elbe in the German state of Saxony.

It rises in the Eastern Ore Mountains on the border between the German state of Saxony and the Czech Republic near the demolished Bohemian village of Mohelnice (Germah: Müglitz) from two headstreams:

From the German village of Müglitz, that lies only just below the confluence of the White and Black Müglitz, the Müglitz runs entirely on Saxon territory. It flows by several villages including Lauenstein, Glashütte, Müglitztal, and Dohna, before emptying into the Elbe at Heidenau.
