Bayot (Baiot, Baiote, Bayotte) is a language of southern Senegal, southwest of Ziguinchor in a group of villages near Nyassia, in northwestern Guinea-Bissau, along the Senegalese border, and in the Gambia.

Bayot is the most divergent of the Jola languages, in the Senegambian branch of the Niger–Congo language family.
