Baltasound (or Baltasund) is the largest settlement on the island of Unst in Shetland, Scotland. It comes from the Old Norse man's name Balti (Baltisund). Unst is the most northerly inhabited island in the United Kingdom. The village lies halfway along the island's east coast on a sheltered bay called Balta Sound. Baltasound was formerly the most important herring port in Shetland. In 1902 its catch exceeded that of the Shetland capital Lerwick. The herring trade declined rapidly after 1905 but the physical remains of the herring boom remained long after.

Baltasound var tidigare den viktigaste sillhamnen på Shetland och 1902 var fångsten större än i huvudstaden Lerwick. Den var då centralhamn för svenska västkustfiskare och i början av 1900-talet byggdes på deras initiativ en svensk kyrka där och en svensk präst var stationerad i Baltasound under fiskesäsongen. År 2000 avtäcktes ett minnesmärke av bohusgranit till minne om de bohuslänska fiskarna. (sv)
