For the river in France see Sauer (France).

The Sauer (German, Luxembourgish) or Sûre (French) is a river in Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany. A tributary of the River Moselle, its total length is 173 km.

Rising near Vaux-sur-Sûre in the Ardennes in south-eastern Belgium, the Sauer flows eastwards and crosses the border with Luxembourg near Martelange. West of Esch-sur-Sûre it flows into an artificial lake, the Lac de la Haute Sûre. After flowing through Ettelbrück and Diekirch, the Sauer forms the border between Luxembourg and Germany for the last 50 km of its course, passing Echternach before emptying into the Moselle at Wasserbillig. The rivers Wiltz, Alzette, Our, and Prüm are tributaries.
