Bîc (Bâc or Byk) is a river in Moldova, a right tributary of Dniester.
The upper flow of Bîc cuts a deep canyon in Codri Hills. The capital of Moldova, Chişinău, is situated near Bîc. A dam near Chişinău holds the Chişinău Sea reservoir, which has an area of about 10 km². During the summer season, Bîc often dries out and turns into a chain of lakes. The river is heavily polluted, so swimming in it is not advisable.
