Baraderes (; ) is a commune in the Nippes department in the southwest part of Haiti. The town has a picturesque market square. There are few shops and no hotels.

The area economy is based on subsistence agriculture. A small association of subsistence farmers, Kafe Devlopman Barade, has exported coffee to the U.S. since 2008. The town, set in a river valley, is vulnerable to flooding. The road to Baradères through the mountains is very rough and is usually accessible only by lorries or high-clearance, four-wheel-drive vehicles. Baradères is also accessible by boat from Petite Trou de Nippes, but sedimentation has made the Bay of Baradères very shallow in places and difficult to navigate—even by canoe. The river mouth is increasingly blocked by sediment.
