Spanish Basque Country can refer to this same territory, but is ambiguous as it may or may not include Navarre; whereas the Basque-derived term "Southern Basque Country" invariably includes Navarre and the enclaves. |

The Southern Basque Country ([Hegoalde or Hego Euskal Herria] Error: {{Lang-xx}}: text has italic markup (help); [Hegoalde, País Vasco y Navarra or País Vasco peninsular] Error: {{Lang-xx}}: text has italic markup (help)) is a term used to refer to the Basque territories within Spain as a unified whole.
It does not exist as a political unit but includes the three provinces (Álava, Biscay, Gipuzkoa) and two enclaves (Enclave of Treviño and Valle de Villaverde) of the Basque Autonomous Community in the west, as well as the Chartered Community of Navarre to the east.
