Bad Orb "Thermae on the Orb River" is a spa town in the Main-Kinzig-Kreis district of Hesse, Germany. It is situated 32 kilometres (20 mi) east of Hanau between the forested hills of the Spessart. Bad Orb has a population of over 9000. Its economy is dominated by the health and tourism sectors.

From 1939 to 1945, Bad Orb was the site of a prisoner-of-war camp named Stalag IX-B located on the nearby hill, Wegscheideküppel. The camp held Soviet, American, French, Italian and Serbian soldiers. Toward the end of the war the conditions at Stalag IX-B deteriorated precipitously, as a result of poor supply and scarcity of fuel. There is a monument to the Soviet dead located at a graveyard south of the former camp site.
