Baeodon is a genus of vesper bats. It consists of two species:

• Allen's yellow bat, Baeodon alleni
• Slender yellow bat, Baeodon gracilis

Baeodon was described as a new genus in 1906 by American zoologist Gerrit Smith Miller Jr. The type species for the genus is Allen's yellow bat, which was previously in the genus Rhogeessa . ^[1] Later studies found that the slender yellow bat was the sister taxon of Allen's yellow bat. ^{[2] [3]}
