The Balsamgau, also called Gau Balcsem or Balsamer country, was a medieval Gaugrafschaft in the southern half of the later Altmark. He lay north of Magdeburg between the rivers Elbe and gentleness. In 1070 the Gaugraf Wiprecht exchanged his hereditary dominion Balsamgau with the Margrave Udo II against the castle Groitzsch in Easter country.
