Disclosed is a bidirectional scanning gate drive circuit and a liquid crystal display panel. The technical problem to be solved is that gate drive circuits in the prior art are provided with only one drive mode. The bidirectional scanning gate drive circuit includes an input part, a control part, and an output part. Signals enter the control part from the input part and then enter the output part or signals enter the control part from the output part and then enter the input part, so as to realize driving of a horizontal scanning line in an Nth stage.
