Grand-Bassam Department, Administrative department in Sud-Comoé Region, Ivory Coast.

The Grand-Bassam Department spans 958 square kilometers along the coast, encompassing three sub-prefectures: Bongo, Bonoua, and Grand-Bassam.

The department emerged from the division of Aboisso Department in 1998 and transformed into a third-level administrative division following the 2011 national restructuring.

The department contains multiple traditional markets where local merchants display agricultural products, textiles, and crafts from the Sud-Comoé region.

The department maintains administrative offices in each sub-prefecture, providing residents with access to government services and documentation processing.

The department headquarters operates in Grand-Bassam city, which served as the first colonial capital of Ivory Coast before the transfer to Abidjan.
