The Eastern Beskids or Eastern Beskyds (Ukrainian: Східні Бескиди, romanized: Skhidni Beskydy; Polish: Beskidy Wschodnie; Rusyn: Выходны Бескиды; Romanian: Beskizii Orientali) are a geological group of mountain ranges of the Beskids, within the Outer Eastern Carpathians. As a continuation of the Central Beskids, this mountain range includes the far southeastern corner of Poland, the far eastern corner of Slovakia, and stretches southward through western parts of Ukraine, up to the border of Romania.
In Polish and Ukrainian terminology, the range is commonly called the "Eastern Beskids" (Ukrainian: Східні Бескиди; Polish: Beskidy Wschodnie), while in Slovakia, the term Meadowed Mountains (Slovak: Poloniny) is also used. The scope of those terms varies in accordance to different traditions and classifications.
At the three-way border, portions of the Slovak Bukovec Mountains (Slovak: Bukovské vrchy), the Polish Bieszczady Mountains (Polish: Bieszczady Zachodnie), and the adjacent "Uzhanskyi National Nature Park" and Nadsianskyi Regional Landscape Park in Ukraine form the transnational East Carpathian Biosphere Reserve.
