The Șcheiu River is a river intercepted by the Canalul Timiș (Timiș Canal) in the city of Braşov, Romania. The upper reach of the river, upstream of Brașov, is also known as the Oabăn River. The lower reach of the river was channelized so as to flow along the walls of the medieval city, contributing to the defenses of the city; this reach is also known as the Graft River or Graft Canal.
