The Eastern Beskids (Slovak: Východné Beskydy; in Polish considered part of the Western Beskids, Beskidy Zachodnie) is a set of mountain ranges spanning the northern Slovak and southern Polish border.

Traditionally the Eastern Beskids are considered part of the Beskid Mountains, a term that differs according to historical and linguistic heritage. Geologically the Eastern Beskids are part of the Outer Western Carpathians.

Subdivision

The Eastern Beskids consist of:

  • Sącz Beskids (PL: Beskid Sądecki) + Ľubovňa Highlands (SK: Ľubovnianska vrchovina)
  • Čergov (SK) + Czerchów Mountains (PL: Góry Czerchowskie)
  • Pieniny (often considered part of the Podhale-Magura Area in non-geomorphological systems)
