Haibach is a community in the Aschaffenburg district in the Regierungsbezirk of Lower Franconia (Unterfranken) in Bavaria, Germany. It has a population of around 8,300.

The community lies east-south-east of the town of Aschaffenburg on the western edge of the Spessart (range) between the town and the hills' well-known landmark Mespelbrunn Castle. The highest elevations in the municipal area are the Findberg and the Buchberg. They reach some 330 m above NHN. Haibach is located in the Spessart Nature Park (Naturpark Spessart)

The municipal area can be divided into the "village", a development area and an industrial area. The village (Dorf) accounts for the biggest part of Haibach and lies to the north. Buildings there are mainly older terraced houses, not higher than two floors. Here, too, is the community centre consisting of the church, various grocery shops and the fire station.

On a hill lies Haibach's development area, which consists of larger detached new structures.

The industrial area lies on Würzburger Straße/State Road 2312 (formerly the B 8) to the south. Found there are the industrial parts of the community, like Adler Modemärkte GmbH.

The constituent communities of Grünmorsbach and Dörrmorsbach are located in the south. Dörrmorsbach is found at the foot of the Pfaffenberg, whose distinctive building development is widely visible in the Spessart.

The municipal territory of Haibach includes a lot of woodlands made up mostly of mixed forest.

Haibach's Ortsteile are Haibach, Grünmorsbach and Dörrmorsbach.

The climate is moderate and warm (Bayerisch Nizza, or "Bavarian Nice"). Haibach represents a meteorological divide between the Main Plain and the High Spessart.

Haibach had its first documentary mention in 1187. At the time there was a noble seat called Ketzelburg on the edge of the community, whose ruins were archaeologically explored in 2004 and 2005.
