The Baptist Evangelical Association of Madagascar is a fellowship of evangelical Baptist churches in Madagascar.

Four Malagasy Baptist churches formed this association in 1997, whose purpose is "implanting and developing true evangelical and conservative churches in Madagascar." In 2005 four churches were members of the association. Leadership is vested in a board of directors.

The association's articles of faith contain statements on the inspiration of the Scriptures; the Triune God; the humanity, deity, virgin birth, death, resurrection and second coming of Jesus Christ; the Fall of Man; of Salvation through repentance and faith; an independent autonomous church; two ordinances - baptism by immersion and the Lord's Supper; and the bodily resurrection.
