Gîsca (meaning "goose" in Romanian, Russian form: Gyska) is a village near Bender in Bessarabia. It is under de facto control of Transnistria, a breakaway region of Moldova.

During the War of Transnistria the village was the scene of alleged human rights abuses by Moldovan troops. According to a report of Russian human rights organisation, "Memorial", members of the local armed Transnistrian paramilitary unit were killed in this village during a clash with Moldovan forces. The Moldovan troops were said to have been finishing off the wounded. At least three villagers were killed by stray bullets and fragments of shells. Two more villagers were beaten by volunteers, mopping up the village. On several occasions unprovoked fire was opened at the houses of villagers (there were no victims). .
