The Autofähre Beckenried–Gersau, or Beckenried–Gersau car ferry, is a Swiss car ferry that operates across the centre of Lake Lucerne between the lakeside towns of Beckenried and Gersau. The 4 kilometres (2.5 mi), 20 minute, crossing avoids a round trip by road of 50 kilometres (31 mi). It operates from the beginning of April to mid-October.

The service has operated since 1930, with some interruptions during World War II. It still uses the same ferry boat, the motor vessel Tellsprung, which was built in 1929 and extensively rebuilt in 1963.
