Bălți (Russisch: Бельцы; Beltsy, Oekraïens: Бєльці Beltsi; Duits: Belz) is de op drie na grootste stad van Moldavië en het belangrijkste industriële, culturele, commerciële en vervoerscentrum in het noorden van het land. Bălți wordt door de Moldaviërs vaak "de hoofdstad van het noorden" genoemd. Bălți ligt 135 km ten noorden van de Moldavische hoofdstad Chisinau. De stad is gelegen aan de Răut, een zijrivier van de Dnjestr, in een heuvelachtig landschap dat in de middeleeuwen volledig bebost was. Van deze bossen is echter weinig meer over. De industriestad heeft een vliegveld en de universiteit Alecu Russo op haar grondgebied. Bestuurlijk is Bălți een gemeente - met stadstitel - en de hoofdplaats van de Moldavische bestuurlijke eenheid (unitate administrativ-teritorială) Bălți.
