バガン（ビルマ文字: ပုဂံ、ラテン文字表記: Bagan）は、ミャンマー・マンダレー地方域にある地名で、以前の表記はパガン。カンボジアのアンコール・ワット、インドネシアのボロブドゥールとともに、世界三大仏教遺跡のひとつと称され、イラワジ川中流域の東岸の平野部一帯に、大小さまざまな仏教遺跡が林立している。バガンとは、広くこの遺跡群の存在する地域を指し、ミャンマー屈指の仏教聖地である。その一部の城壁に囲まれたオールドバガンは、考古学保護区に指定されている。点在するパゴダや寺院のほとんどは11世紀から13世紀に建てられたもので、大きいものや小さいものがある。本来は漆喰により仕上げられた鮮やかな白色をしているが、管理者のない仏塔は漆喰が剥がれレンガの赤茶色の外観となる。仏塔の数は、3000を超えるといわれている。
