The Bârsa (in its upper course also: Bârsa Groșetului, {{langx|de|Burzen}}) is a left tributary of the river Olt in Romania.{{GeoSource|RO|Annex7|659}}{{GeoSource|RO|Atlas|273-274|VIII.1.50}} It discharges into the Olt near Feldioara.[http://www.e-calauza.ro/index.php?afiseaza=pluta_noua&rau=342 Barsa / Barsa Mare / Valea Cenusii (jud. Brasov)], e-calauza.ro Its source is in the Făgăraș Mountains. As several tributaries also have the name Bârsa, in order to differentiate them, the main course of the river is frequently referred to as Bârsa Mare.

Its length is {{convert|73|km|abbr=on}} and its basin size is {{convert|937|km2|abbr=on}}.{{GeoSource|RO|Atlas|273-274|VIII.1.50}}
