We analyze several signals at HERA and the Tevatron of a light $U(1)_B$ gauge boson ($\gamma_B$) coupling to baryon number. We show that the study of the production of $b \bar{b}$ pairs at the (upgraded) Tevatron can exclude $\gamma_B$ with masses ($m_B$) in the range $40 \lesssim m_B \lesssim 300$ GeV for $\gamma_B$ couplings ($\alpha_B$) greater than $2 \times 10^{-2}$ ($3 \times 10^{-3}$). We also show that the HERA experiments cannot improve the present bounds on $\gamma_B$. Moreover, we demonstrate that the production at HERA and the Tevatron of di--jet events with large rapidity gaps between the jets cannot be explained by the existence of a light $\gamma_B$.
