Warm Springs Bay is a bay located just outside of the small community of Baranof Warm Springs on Baranof Island in the Alexander Archipelago, Alaska. Warm Springs Bay is located at 57°4′N 134°48′W.

It receives its name from the eponymous hot springs. Baranof Warm Springs is also the outlet of Baranof Lake and Baranof River. Partly because of this, many fishing boats often take shelter or rest in the bay during the fishing season from Chatham Strait. The City of Sitka maintains a public-use dock on the north side of the bay for all boats although there are no permanent slips.
