Baia County is one of the historic counties of Moldavia, Romania. The county seat was Fălticeni.
In 1938, the county was disestablished and incorporated into the newly formed Ținutul Prut, but it was re-established in 1940 after the fall of Carol II's regime - only to be abolished 10 years later by the Communist regime.
