Sierra de Baza is a mountain range near the city of Baza in the Granada province in Spain. It is named after the town of Baza and its highest point is the 2,269 m high Calar de Santa Bárbara.

It is located between the Sierra Nevada and the Sierra de Cazorla and Sierra de Segura mountain ranges. It merges towards the east with the Sierra de los Filabres mountain range.

A natural park, the Parque natural de la Sierra de Baza, has been designated to protect the mountain environment. A long-distance footpath, the GR 7, passes through the natural park.
