Baak is a small village in the Achterhoek part of the Dutch province of Gelderland. It stands on the Baakse Beek (literally, Brook of Baak) in the municipality of Bronckhorst, about 10 km from Zutphen.
Baak was founded around 1190 as a neighbourhood (Dutch: buurtschap). The village has a (for its number of inhabitants quite large) neo-gothic church. Within the village limits one can also find the manor Huize Baak, one of the many manors in this part of the Achterhoek. The manor and surrounding park can be visited by appointment (it is owned by the Dutch branch of the Focolare Movement). The manor can also be seen from the public road; a walking path goes all around the premises.
