The Gorgone is a roughly 6 km long left tributary of the Chiese in northern Italy .

The river rises east of the village of Arveaco on the northern slope of Monte Besum at an altitude of about 1000 m. First it flows north down the slope of the mountain through the Val Bondo . South of Treviso Bresciano , it changes its course to the west. There it connects with the Canale Carpen , which flows in from the east. It flows past Monte Castello and Monte Colmo and flows into the Chiese at Vestone .
