Nabil Baha (Arabic: نبيل باها; born 12 August 1981) is a Moroccan footballer who plays as a striker.

He started playing for Montpellier in 2000, but competed professionally mainly in Portugal and Spain, representing in the country's top divisions Braga and Málaga.

Baha gained 20 caps for Morocco, during seven years.

Born in Remiremont, France, and with both of his parents hailing from Douar Guerzine near Fes, Baha made his professional debuts with France's Montpellier HSC, then went on to represent Associação Naval 1º de Maio (second division) and S.C. Braga in Portugal, moving to neighbours Spain in 2005 and appearing for Racing de Ferrol in the second level. There, in spite of his eight league goals, the Galician club would be relegated.

After a brief return spell to France with lowly US Créteil-Lusitanos, Baha returned to Spain and its second-tier in January 2007, scoring nine league goals for SD Ponferradina, which would also drop down a level at the season's closure. In the 2007–08 campaign he played for another side in the category, Málaga CF, and, benefitting from several injuries to habitual first-choice Salva, finished with ten goals (squad's second-best) as the Andalusians returned to La Liga after two years.
