The Mützelburger Beeke (Polish: rzeka Myśliborka), often shortened to Beeke, is a 6.1-kilometer-long river. It forms the outflow of the Great Mützelburger Lake and flows east of Rieth into the Lake Neuwarp, a bay of the Szczecin Lagoon. The Beeke's catchment area covers approximately 21.3 km².
As a result of World War II, part of the German-Polish border runs through the middle of the river between the Vorpommern-Greifswald district in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and the Powiat Policki in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship.
In the 1960s, extensive land reclamation measures were carried out on both sides of the former border between the GDR and the People's Republic of Poland. A weir at the outflow of the Great Mützelburger Lake was replaced by a bed slide in 2007/2008, thereby restoring the ecological continuity of the river.
