Banaz is a town and a district of Uşak Province, Turkey. The town is situated on the main road from İzmir to Ankara, at a distance of 33 km (21 mi) to the province seat of Uşak. The district extends on a large and fertile plain (65 km²) that carries the same name as the town and the district (Banaz Plain - Banaz Ovası), and it is an area of intense and varied agricultural production, as well as of dense forestation. The stream that crosses and feeds the plain carries the name Banaz as well (Banaz Çayı) and it later joins Büyük Menderes River. Sugarbeet and opium are the principal agricultural products that are grown in Banaz.
The climate unites the influences of both the Aegean Region and of Central Anatolia, thus experiencing the hot summers of the first and the harsh winters of the second in moderation.
Another notable feature of the district is its several hot thermal springs, some of which, such as those at localities called Evrendede, Çatalçam and Hamamboğazı are arranged to serve as recreational areas.
