巴拉韦（索馬利亞語：Baraawe；阿拉伯语：مدينة ﺑﺮﺍﻭة）是索马里联邦共和国东南岸的一个港口城市。它目前是索马里西南州的首府。 中世纪时，巴拉韦是非洲东海岸的伊斯兰城邦，经济支柱是转口贸易。 《长乐山南山寺天妃之神灵应记》、《郑和航海图》、费信《星槎胜览》作卜剌哇，《明史》作不剌哇。明代郑和船队曾抵达该地。 郑和立《长乐山南山寺天妃之神灵应记》记载：永乐十五年郑和统领舟师出使西域。卜剌哇国献千里骆驼和驼鸡。 费信《星槎胜览》卜剌哇条：“傍海为国，居民聚落。地广斥卤，有盐池，但投树枝于池，良久捞起，结成白盐食用。无耕种之田，捕鱼为业。男女拳发，穿短衫，围稍布。妇女两耳带金钱，顶带璎珞。惟有葱蒜，无瓜茄。风俗颇浮。居屋垒石，高起三五层者。地产马哈兽、花福禄、豹、麂、犀牛、没药、乳香、龙涎香、象牙、骆驼。货用金银、段绢、米豆、磁器之属。”
