Margravine Auguste Marie Johanna of Baden-Baden, duchesse d'Orléans (german:Auguste Marie Johanna von Baden-Baden) (November 10, 1704 in Aschaffenburg – August 8, 1726 in Paris) was a Princess of Baden-Baden and the wife of Louis of Bourbon, Duke of Orléans.
Auguste Marie Johanna was the ninth child of the Imperial Army commander Louis William, Margrave of Baden-Baden and his wife Sibylle Auguste of Saxe-Lauenburg, who was twenty years younger than her husband.
Auguste Marie married on July 13, 1724 the French prince, Louis of Bourbon, Duke of Orléans, the grandson of her father's former enemy, Louis XIV of France. The dowry offered was a small 80,000 Livres despite the fact that the wife had been chosen for her catholic family and beliefs.
She died at the age of 22, three days after giving birth to their second child. She died at the Palais Royal, the paris residence of the House of Orléans.
