Noh-Bec, also spelled Nohbec, is a town in the municipality of Felipe Carrillo Puerto in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo. According to the 2020 Census, Noh-Bec has a population of 2,052 people.
== History == Until 1936, Nohbec was a chicle camp in the central region of the then Territory of Quintana Roo. The camp’s dense jungles provided large quantities of fine wood and sapodilla resin (chicozapote), which was harvested and exported. It was in 1936 that the chicle workers in what is now Noh-Bec, seeking better conditions, organized and petitioned for the creation of their own ejido. The ejido was formally recognized by presidential decree in 1943.
