The Breithornzwillinge (from German: "Breithorn twin", in Italian Gemello del Breithorn Orientale) is a peak of the Pennine Alps, located on the border between Switzerland and Italy, between the canton of Valais and the region of Aosta Valley. It is part of the Breithorn massif, located east of the Theodul Pass. It is located just east of the Eastern Breithorn and west of the Roccia Nera. It is sometimes considered as a gendarme and it is indicated as Gendarm on the Swisstopo topographic maps.
