Beşik Bay (Template:Langx, Script error: No such module "Lang". or Script error: No such module "Lang".) is a small bay on the Aegean shore of Troy, at the mouth of the Hellespont in present-day Asiatic Turkey.[1]

It has been written of since antiquity and throughout the 19th century, and in the 20th was seen as a strategic prize. It played a critical role in the Crimean War, and in the disastrous Gallipoli campaign of World War I.
