Bayburt (Armenian: Բայբերդ, Romanized: Bayberd) is a city in northeast Turkey lying on the Çoruh River. It is the seat of Bayburt Province and Bayburt District.

Bayburt was once an important center on the ancient Silk Road. It was visited by Marco Polo and Evliya Çelebi. Remains of its medieval castle still exist. There are several historical mosques, Turkish baths, and tombs in the city. There are also ancient historical sites such as the Çatalçeşme Underground Complex and natural wonders like the Sirakayalar Waterfall in the other parts of the province.

The name of the town was formerly written in Ottoman Turkish as بايبورد (Bayburd) and in English as Baiburt. It was known under a variety of names during the Byzantine period; Procopius naming the city Baiberdon, meanwhile Kedrenos calling it Paiperte. The name derives from the medieval Armenian Baydbert (Բայտբերդ). In Movses of Khoren's History of Armenia, the town is being named as Բայբերդ (Paypert). Movses asserts that the city's ancient name was Smpadapert, in reference to the Smbat I, founder of the Bagratuni dynasty. It is thought that Baydbert consists of two words, namely Bayd and Bert. The first one has been discussed so much, but its true etymon is not clear yet. However, the second one is most probably an Armenian loanword bert (բերդ), "fortress".
