We study the gaps between products of two primes in imaginary quadratic number fields using a combination of the methods of Goldston–Graham–Pintz–Yildirim (Proc Lond Math Soc 98:741–774, 2009), and Maynard (Ann Math 181:383–413, 2015). An important consequence of our main theorem is existence of infinitely many pairs $$\alpha _1, \alpha _2$$
α
1
,
α
2
which are product of two primes in the imaginary quadratic field K such that $$|\sigma (\alpha _1-\alpha _2)|\le 2$$
