Baška (Polish: Baszka) is a municipality and village in Frýdek-Místek District in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic.

The reservoir is used for recreational purposes and as a water source for industry in case of emergency.

[3][5] Politically it belonged to the Duchy of Teschen, a fee of the Kingdom of Bohemia, which after 1526 became part of the Habsburg monarchy.

In 1573 it was sold as one of 16 villages and the town of Frýdek, and formed a state country split from the Duchy of Teschen.

[6] In 1961, the municipalities of Hodoňovice and Kunčičky u Bašky were joined to Baška.
