The Bay of Vyborg (Russian: Выборгский залив, Finnish: Viipurinlahti) is a deep inlet running northeastward near the eastern end of Gulf of Finland in the Baltic Sea. The city of Viipuri/Vyborg is located near the head of the gulf.

The bay is connected by the Saimaa Canal to the lake Saimaa in Finland.

In 1790 the bay was the scene of one of largest naval battles in history; the Battle of Vyborg Bay with a total of 498 Russian and Swedish ships.
