Bidache (Occitan: Bidaishe; Basque: Bidaxune) is a commune of the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department in south-western France.

It is located in the former province of Lower Navarre, but it was a little principality after Antonio I (of the Gramont family) proclaimed himself sovereign prince in 1570, until the French Revolution finished it.
