{{coord|40.74|29.65|display=title|type:waterbody_region:TR-41}}Gulf of İzmit (Turkish: İzmit Körfezi), also referred to as Izmit Bay, is a bay at the easternmost edge of the Sea of Marmara, in Kocaeli Province, Turkey.^[1] In antiquity it was known first as the Gulf of Astacus and later as the Gulf of Nicomedia.^[2]

The gulf takes its name from the city of İzmit, other cities and towns around the bay being Gebze, Körfez, Gölcük, and Altınova. In the east–west direction, it extends for a length of about {{convert|48|km|mi}}, while in the north–south direction its width varies from {{convert|2|to|3|km|mi}} at the narrowest spots to about {{convert|10|km|mi}} at its widest. The İzmit Bay Bridge is a suspension bridge that bridges the gulf.
