The results of magnetic-susceptibility and neutron-diffraction measurements on BaCo${\mathrm{F}}_{4}$ show behavior characteristic of a two-dimensional antiferromagnet. The material is highly anisotropic and exhibits two magnetic phases, $A$ and $B$, both of which order in three dimensions at the same temperature, ${T}_{N}=(69.6\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.1)\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}$K. The magnetic structure consists of puckered (010) layers of moments within which nearest neighbors are coupled antiparallel. The ordering of the moments 14 \AA{} apart in the $b$ direction is antiparallel in phase $A$ and parallel in phase $B$. The moments are directed along [100]. If the ${\mathrm{Co}}^{2+}$ moment is assumed to be the same for both phases, then the ordered moments have a magnitude of $(3.4\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.2){\ensuremath{\mu}}_{B}$ at 4.7 \ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}K.
