The Lăzarea (also: Chiuruț or Chiuruțul Mare, Hungarian: Szárhegy-patak) is a right tributary of the river Mureș in Transylvania, Romania. It flows through the village Lăzarea, and joins the Mureș near the village Remetea.[1] Its length is 16km (10miles) and its basin size is 31km2.

Its Hungarian name contains the archaic word "szár" for "bold", so the name means "Boldmountain Creek".
