Colonel Kwame R. M. Baah (21 May 1938 – 1997) was a soldier and politician. He was the Ghanaian foreign minister between 1972 and 1975.

Colonel (then Major) Kwame Baah was appointed Minister for Foreign Affairs after the government of Dr. Kofi Abrefa Busia was overthrown in a coup d'état on 13 January 1972. This replaced the Progress Party government with the National Redemption Council. He was appointed foreign minister by General (then Colonel) Ignatius Kutu Acheampong in 1972, a position he held till 1975.

At the hearings of the National Reconciliation Commission in Accra on 1 June 2004, a Captain Koda is said to have reported that Colonel Kwame Baah and others were supposed to be among a third batch of officers to be executed during the era of the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council. This was never carried out. His successor as foreign minister, Col. Roger Felli was however executed along with five other army officers on 16 June 1979.
