Biharia () is a commune in Bihor County, Crișana, Romania. It is composed of two villages, Biharia and Cauaceu (Hegyközkovácsi).

==History== The village is first mentioned in 1067 as Byhor, later as Bychor in 1213, as Bihar in 1332, and again, in 1349 as Byhor. The Gesta Hungarorum, which is believed to have been written around the time of King Béla III of Hungary (1172–1196), mentions that Duke Árpád (born 845) sent envoys to a castle called Bychor, to Duke Menumorout.
