The Bicaz Gorge (Romanian: Cheile Bicazului, Hungarian: Békás-szoros) is a gorge in northeast Romania, in Neamț and Harghita counties. It is in the central part of the Hășmaș Mountains, and is part of the Cheile Bicazului-Hășmaș National Park.[1]

The gorge was excised by the waters of the river Bicaz and is a passageway between the Romanian provinces of Moldova and Transylvania.

National road DN12C passes through the gorge along the 8 kilometres (5 mi) of ravines. Also in the gorge is Lacul Roșu (the Red Lake).
