The Baraba steppe or Baraba Lowland (Russian: Барабинская низменность), is a plain in western Siberia. It is named after Baraba Tatars, its indigenous inhabitants.
Since the 19th century the Baraba Lowland is an important Russian agricultural region, with its meadows serving primarily as feed base for livestock farming.
