Eastern section of the Western Beskids (Czech: Východní část Západních Beskyd) are a set of mountain ranges spanning the southern Polish and northern Slovak border. They constitute an eastern section of the Western Beskids, within the Outer Western Carpathians.

In geographic classification, the term Beskid Mountains has several definitions, related to distinctive historical and linguistic traditions. Depending on a particular classification, designation Eastern in relation to the Beskids is also used with different meanings. In Slovak terminology, the term Eastern Beskids (Slovak: Východné Beskydy) is used to designate the eastern section of the Western Beskids. In Polish terminology, the same region is also classified as the eastern section of the Western Beskids, but not under the term Eastern Beskids (Polish: Beskidy Wschodnie), since that term is used to designate Eastern Beskids of the Outer Eastern Carpathians.
