The Bidasoa (French: Bidassoa) is a river in the Basque country of northern Spain.

It rises in Spain near Errazu in the province of Navarre and flows through much of its 66 km length through that territory. Its last 10 km form part of the border between France and Spain before flowing into the Atlantic Ocean (Bay of Biscay) between Hendaye, France and Hondarribia, Spain. Another town on the Bidasoa is Doneztebe, in Navarre.
