Baia de Criș (German: Altenburg; Hungarian: Körösbánya) is a commune in Hunedoara County, Transylvania, Romania, close to the small town of Brad. It is composed of nine villages: Baia de Criș, Baldovin (Báldovin), Căraci (Karács), Cărăstău (Karasztó), Lunca (Lunka), Rișca (Riska), Rișculița (Riskulica), Țebea (Cebe), and Văleni.

The village of Țebea is where the Revolt of Horea, Cloșca and Crișan started in 1784, and marks the death place and burial site of Avram Iancu.

The village of Lunca Moților keeps the wooden Church of the Assumption, with good folk paintings by master Nicolae (1829), from Lupșa Mare, in the interior. The building now belongs to the National Museum of the Romanian Peasant.
