The Baer's Pochard (Aythya baeri) is a diving duck found in eastern Asia, similar in appearance to the Ferruginous Duck. It breeds in south-east Russia and north-east China, migrating in winter to southern China, Vietnam and India.

The name commemorates the Estonian naturalist Karl Ernst von Baer.
