Bava Batra (also Baba Batra; Jewish Babylonian Aramaic: בָּבָא בַּתְרָא, romanized: bāvā baṯrā, lit. 'The Last Gate') is the third of the three Talmudic tractates in the Talmud in the order Nezikin; it deals with a person's responsibilities and rights as the owner of property. It is part of Judaism's oral law. Originally it, together with Bava Kamma and Bava Metzia, formed a single tractate called Nezikin (torts or damages).
Unlike Bava Kamma and Bava Metzia, this tractate is not the exposition of a certain passage in the Torah.
