Baldone (pronunciationⓘ; German: Baldohn) is a town in Ķekava Municipality, in the Semigallia region of Latvia. The town is famous for its sulfur water springs and was a spa resort. It is connected to the capital Riga by the P91 and P89 roads and the Ķekaviņa [lv] river flows through the town.

The town serves as the extra-territorial seat of Baldone Parish, which surrounds the town entirely. From 2008 to 2021, the town served as the seat of Baldone Municipality before its dissolution.

In 1991, the village of Baldone received city rights, governing also the Baldone Rural Territory until 28 January 2010, when it was split off of the town and renamed Baldone Parish.
