Bukovské vrchy (usually translated as Bukovec Mountains) is a flysch mountain range in north-eastern Slovakia, belonging to the Eastern Carpathians. It is located in the Prešov Region near the borders with Poland (Bieszczady) and Ukraine.

The highest mountain is Kremenec at 1,221 m AMSL.

Original flora and fauna was preserved because of the area's remoteness. The mountain range is covered with beech forests. The area is protected by Poloniny National Park. Localities Havešová, Stužica and Rožok are inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list.
