The Crişul Alb (Romanian) or Fehér-Körös (Hungarian) is a river in western Romania (Transylvania) and south-eastern Hungary (Békés county). Its source is in the southern Apuseni Mountains. It flows through the towns Brad, Ineu, Chişineu Criş in Romania, and Gyula in Hungary. Crossing the border of Hungary, the river, now called Fehér-Körös, joins the Fekete-Körös a few kilometres north from Gyula to form the Körös River.
