The Securities Commission of the Bahamas (SCB), formerly the Securities Board of the Bahamas, is an agency responsible for financial regulation of investment funds, securities, and capital markets in the Bahamas. Among other responsibilities, it enforces the Financial and Corporate Service Providers Act, the Digital Assets and Registered Exchanges (DARE) Act, and the Carbon Credits Trading Act. Its members are appointed by the Minister of Finance.

As of 2015, SCB oversaw more than 1,000 firms. That year, the commission accepted a two-year position as chair of the Caribbean Group of Securities Regulators.
