Șieu-Măgheruș (Hungarian: Sajómagyarós) is a commune in Bistrița-Năsăud County, Transylvania, Romania. It is composed of seven villages: Arcalia (Árokalja), Chintelnic (Kentelke), Crainimăt (Királynémeti), Podirei (Pogyerej), Sărățel (Szeretfalva), Șieu-Măgheruș, and Valea Măgherușului (Sajómagyarósi völgy).
The commune lies on the Transylvanian Plateau, on the banks of the river Șieu. It is located in the central-south part of the county, at a distance of 22 km (14 mi) from the town of Beclean and 16 km (9.9 mi) from the county seat, Bistrița.
Șieu-Măgheruș is crossed by two national roads: DN17 [ro] (part of European route E58), which joins Dej in Cluj County to Suceava, and DN15A [ro] (part of European route E578), which joins Reghin in Mureș County to Bistrița; the two roads meet in the village of Sărățel.
There is also a train station in Sărățel, which serves the CFR Line 406, that runs from Bistrița Bârgăului to Bistrița North [ro] to here, and on to the town of Luduș, in Mureș County (the last segment is operated by Regio Călători).
