Bajo Aragón-Caspe (Spanish: [ˈbaxo aɾaˈɣoŋ ˈkaspe]) or Baix Aragó-Casp (Catalan: [ˈbaʒ əɾəˈɣo ˈkasp], locally: [ˈbajʒ aɾaˈɣo ˈkasp])[1] is a comarca in eastern Aragon, bordering the Spanish Autonomous Community of Catalonia.

It borders the Aragonese comarques of Matarranya, Monegros, Bajo Cinca, Bajo Martín and Ribera Baja del Ebro, and the Catalan comarques of Terra Alta, Baix Ebre, and Ribera d'Ebre.

This comarca is named after the town of Caspe, its capital. Except for Caspe and Chiprana, the other towns belong to the Catalan-speaking strip in eastern Aragon known as La Franja. Its main income is derived from the production of olive oil.
