Bangecuo (also spelled as Bangor Co, ;) is a graben basin salt lake^{[1] [2]} on the Tibetan Plateau in Xainza County within Nagqu in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China.

It was reported in 2003 that the water levels of Siling Lake and Bangecuo had increased by 19.34% since 1969.^[3]

Siling Lake is another nearby salt lake located west of Bangecuo,^[4] around four miles away.
