Common Mental Disorders (CMD) have grown significantly in recent decades. Despite the high prevalences recorded and representing an important cause of work leave among teachers, there are still gaps in knowledge about this event among university professors. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of CMD among professors of a public university in Bahia, analyzing its association with sociodemographic, labor and psychosocial aspects. An exploratory cross-sectional epidemiological study was carried out involving 127 teachers. Univariate, bivariate and multivariate analyzes were performed with unconditional logistic regression. For entry into the model, a value of p ≤ 0,25 was obtained, obtained by Pearson's Chi-Square Test (X²) or Fisher's Exact. Prevalence ratios were estimated by Poisson Regression. The level of statistical significance adopted for permanence in the final model was 5%. The prevalence of CMD in the study population was 29,9%. There was a statistically significant association of CMD with feeling of weariness in the relationship with the students (PR: 2,31) and lack of satisfaction in working in the institution (PR: 2,13). High prevalence of CMD was observed among the teachers participating in the study, reinforcing the need for intervention actions and a close look at the mental health of these professionals.
