Bajawa is a town of Flores, Indonesia, and the capital of the Ngada Regency. Ngada Regency is part of East Nusa Tenggara province and located to the east of Ruteng.

Bajawa features natural hot springs which are used for bathing[2] and volcanic scenery[3] due to the proximity of the Inierie volcano some 10 km to the south.[4] The population is primarily Roman Catholic.
