The Bavarian Alps is a collective name for several mountain ranges of the Northern Limestone Alps within the German state of Bavaria. The term in its wider sense refers to that part of the Eastern Alps that lies on Bavarian state territory.

In this narrower sense, the Allgäu Alps in Swabia, which have only been part of Bavaria in more recent times, and the Berchtesgaden Alps in the east are not considered part of the Bavarian Alps.
