Băile Govora (or just Govora) is a Romanian spa town in Vâlcea County, about {{cvt|20|km}} south-west of Râmnicu Vâlcea and west of the Olt River, in the historical region of Oltenia. Notable features of the town (beside its mineral springs, recommended for a variety of ailments) include the Govora Abbey (built in the 15th century and consolidated by Matei Basarab and later by Constantin Brâncoveanu) and the nearby Dintr-un lemn Monastery (16th or 17th century; the legend of its origin was recorded by Paul of Aleppo).

Govora Abbey was the site where Matei Basarab introduced the first printing press in Wallachia – where the first written code of laws in Romanian was published, {{ill|Pravila de la Govora|ro}}, in 1640.

The town administers three villages: Curăturile, Gătejești, and Prajila.
