The West-Beskidian Piedmont (Czech: Západobeskydské podhůří, Polish: Pogórze Zachodniobeskidzkie) is a geological region of the northeastern Czech Republic extending into southern Poland. The relatively modest foothills are considered part of the Outer Western Carpathians.

Subdivision

The West-Beskidian Piedmont consists of four subranges (from west to east):

  • Silesian-Moravian Foothills (Czech: Podbeskydská pahorkatina, Polish: Pogórze Śląsko-Morawskie)
  • Silesian Piedmont (Polish: Pogórze Śląskie)
  • Wieliczka Piedmont (Polish: Pogórze Wielickie)
  • Wiśnicz Piedmont (Polish: Pogórze Wiśnickie)
