Timiş-Cerna Gap (Romanian: Culoarul Timiş-Cerna) is a mountain pass in South-Western Romania (mostly in Caraş-Severin County), dividing the Southern Carpathians and Banat mountain ranges, both part of the Carpathians.
The pass follows the paths of the rivers Timiş (which flows northward) and Cerna (which flows southward). To the west lie the Almăj and Semenic Mountains and to the east Mehedinţi, Cerna, Ţarcului and Poiana Ruscă Mountains.
The town of Caransebeş lies in the Timiş-Cerna Gap and Orşova lies on the Danube at the gap's southern end.
