The Bebryces () were a tribe of people who lived in Bithynia. According to Strabo they were one of the many Thracian tribes that had crossed from Europe into Asia, although modern scholars have rather argued for a Celtic origin.

== Name == Classical linguists considered the name of Bebryces related to the Thracian Bryges, which was later renamed to Phryges (Phrygians), based on the geographic proximity, as well as the migration route of the Phrygians known from ancient myths.
