The Supsa (Georgian: სუფსა) is a river in the Black Sea basin of Georgia. It has a basin of 1,130 square kilometres (440 sq mi) and flows roughly west for 108 kilometres (67 mi) until it joins the Black Sea near the village Supsa.[1]

The Supsa corresponds to the ancient River Mogrus (or Nogrus), described by Pliny the Elder in his Naturalis Historia.[2][3]
