Siekane, Wąwóz Siekane - a gorge, a historical, non-standardized part of the city of Tarnogród in Poland located in the Lublin Voivodeship, in the Biłgoraj district, in the Tarnogród commune.

Siekane is a gorge on the northern outskirts of the city, among the farmlands of the Płuskie district, which is also an important place of national remembrance in Tarnogród. During the Russian occupation in the 19th century, the Provisional National Government (the highest executive body in the January Uprising) issued a manifesto in 1863 calling on the nation to fight for Polish independence, at the same time announcing a decree on the emancipation of peasants. In order to stop the peasants from uprising, the tsarist government issued a decree emancipating peasants in the territory of Congress Poland. In Tarnogród, in the Siekane gorge, a bloody battle between Tarnogród insurgents and Cossacks took place, in which about 100 Tarnogród residents who rushed to help those fighting at Potok and Suszka were killed.

In 1963, to commemorate the 100 fallen Tarnogród insurgents (1863), the commune erected a monument in this place with the inscription "On the hundredth anniversary of commemorating the insurgent fights for freedom and independence of the Tarnogród society 1863–1963".
