Baena (pronounced ba-en-na)[2] is an extinct genus of baenid turtles that inhabited North America during the Late Cretaceous and early Paleogene.[3] The genus name is thought to originate from a Native American language, possibly the Arapaho word for turtle, be’enoo.[2]

Fossils of Baena have been found in locations including Kirtland Formation, Campanian New Mexico (B. sp.) (Cretaceous) and Ravenscrag Formation, Maastrichtian Canada (B. sp.) (Cretaceous).[4]
