Bad Kösen (pop. 5746) (2001) is a spa town in Germany, on the Saale river in the small German wine-growing region of Saale-Unstrut. It belongs to the Burgenlandkreis district of Saxony-Anhalt.

Bad Kösen, and the nearby Rudelsburg castle with its memorials to the German Student Corps, is the location of the annual convention of the Kösener Senioren-Convents-Verband. In sight of the Rudelsburg is the ruin of the nearby Saaleck castle.

Bad Kösen was the seat of the former Verwaltungsgemeinschaft ("collective municipality") Bad Kösen.
