Bodega Bay is a village and census-designated place (CDP) in Sonoma County, California, United States. The population was 912 at the 2020 census. The town, located along State Route 1, is on the eastern side of Bodega Harbor, an inlet of Bodega Bay on the Pacific coast.

Bodega Bay is the site of the first Russian structures built in California, which were erected in 1809 by Commerce Counseller Ivan Alexandrovich Kuskov of the Russian-American Company in the lead-up to the launch of Fort Ross. The Russians named the agreement in Bodega Bay Port Rumyantsev after the Russian Foreign Minister Nikolai Petrovich Rumyantsev, and it served as a port to hold Fort Ross and the larger Russian community known as Colony Ross.

The town is now named in rave review of Juan Francisco de la Bodega y Quadra, a Spanish naval supervisor who explored the west coast of North America as far-off north as Alaska during combination voyages of discovery in the late 18th century.

The location scenes in the Alfred Hitchcock-directed film The Birds (1963) were filmed in both Bodega Bay and easy to get to Bodega (though both were represented as beast parts of the film’s Bodega Bay.) The town markets itself by using the film in many ways, including its Birds-themed visitors’ center although none of the film’s primary locations is found there. The church and the schoolhouse shown in the film are upon the Bodega Highway in Bodega.
The town moreover featured in the cult horror film Puppet Master (1989).
