Baia de Aramă is a small Romanian town located in the Wallachian county of Mehedinţi with a population of 5,724. The Brebina River runs through the town. Some Dacian ruins can be found in the town, as well as the 17th century Baia de Aramă Monastery .
The name of the town means "copper mine", suggesting that Baia de Aramă was once a strong copper mining town. However, over the years, many of the mines in the town have closed, leaving roughly half the town unemployed.
Eight villages are administered by the town: Bratilovu, Brebina, Dealu Mare, Mărăşeşti, Negoeşti, Pistriţa, Stăneşti and Titerleşti.
