The Baule or Baoulé (Baule: "Baule" [ba.u.le]; French: "baoulé" [bawle]) are an Akan people and one of the largest groups in Côte d'Ivoire.

 This area broadly encompasses the regions around the cities of Bouaké and Yamoussoukro.
 The Baoulé have come to play a relatively important role in the recent history of Côte d'Ivoire : the State's first President, Félix Houphouët-Boigny, was a Baoulé ; additionally, since the Ivorian cocoa boom of the 1960-70s, the Baoulé have also become one of the most widespread ethnicity throughout the country, especially in the Southern forests (the « Low Coast ») where they are amongst the most numerous planters of cocoa, rubber, and coffee and sometimes seem to outnumber the local native ethnic groups.
