Baunatal (German pronunciation: [ˈbaʊnataːl] , lit.'Bauna Valley') is a town in the district of Kassel, in Hesse, Germany. It is a comparatively young town which arose from fusion of the formerly independent municipalities Altenbauna, Altenritte, Großenritte, Guntershausen, Hertingshausen, Kirchbauna and Rengershausen in 1966.

In 1999, the town hosted the 39th Hessentag state festival.
