Bara (Hungarian Bari) is a small town with about 350 inhabitants in southeastern Slovakia near the border town of Slovenské Nové Mesto with Hungary.

The municipality was formed in 1960 through the merger of the two towns of Malá Bara (Hungarian Kisbári) and Veľká Bara (Hungarian Nagybári) and is located on the southern foothills of the Semplin Mountains in the famous Tokaj wine region.
The towns were first mentioned in documents in 1296 as Bary (a Slovak plural form; the etymology of the root word is disputed, probably comes from the word for "swamp"). The inhabitants, who today mainly speak Hungarian, are mainly involved in agriculture and viticulture.
Until 1918, the municipality in Semplin County belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary and then became part of the newly formed Czechoslovakia. As a result of the First Vienna Award, it briefly returned to Hungary from 1938 to 1945.
