The Legislative Assembly of Bahia (Portuguese: Assembleia Legislativa da Bahia, ALBA) is the unicameral legislature of the brazilian state of Bahia, it's currently based on the Luís Eduardo Magalhães building located in the Administrative Center of Bahia (Centro Administrativo da Bahia, CAB) neighbourhood of Salvador. It has 63 state deputies elected by proportional representation.

The legislative power of Bahia began with the General Council of the Province in 1828, it had 21 members and had only the function of suggesting laws for the General Assembly of the Empire. In 1835 the Provincial Assembly was actually created, from the first to the 11th legislature the Assembly functioned in the Convento do Carmo, in 1858 it started to function next to the Paço Municipal, from 1891 the assembly became bicameral where the chamber and the Senate functioned in different buildings. In 1947 during the Estado Novo regime, the legislature became unicameral again as has remained as such.
