We discuss what can be learned about the baryon density from an all-sky map of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) with sub-degree angular resolution. With only minimal assumptions about the primordial spectrum of density perturbations and the values of other cosmological parameters, such a CMB map should be able to distinguish between a Universe with a baryon density near 0.1 and a baryon-dominated Universe. With additional reasonable assumptions, it is conceivable that such measurements will constrain the baryon density to an accuracy similar to that obtained from BBN calculations.
