Coos Bay is an S-shaped inlet, approximately 16 km long and 3 km wide, on the Pacific Ocean coast of southwestern Oregon in the United States. The city of Coos Bay, once named Marshfield, was renamed for the bay and is located on its inner side. The Port of Coos Bay is the largest and deepest port between San Francisco, California and the Columbia River.

Coos Bay is located in northern Coos County. Other communities on the bay include North Bend and Charleston. The Coos River, which begins in the Coast Range, enters the bay from the east. The bay and the communities along it are an important port region for Oregon, with timber from the surrounding forests being one of the major products shipped from the area.
