Côtes-de-Fer (; ) is a commune in the Bainet Arrondissement, in the Sud-Est department of Haiti. It has 49,037 inhabitants.

In 2014, the government of Michel Martelly produced a plan to develop up to 8,000 acres of the coastline as part of a plan to generate tourism on the island. The plans included both an international airport and a seaport, hotels, villas, restaurants and sports complexes. Both former Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe and for Minister of Tourism and Creative Industries Stéphanie Villedrouin promoted the plan heavily during their tenures.
