Oued Ed-Dahab-Lagouira (Arabic: وادي الذهب لكويرة) is one of the sixteen regions of Morocco. It is situated in the disputed territory of Western Sahara, considered by Morocco to be the southern part of the country. The Polisario Front and other independence-seeking Sahrawis consider this to be a part of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic. The United Nations and most countries do not recognize either Moroccan sovereignty over the area, or the self-declared Sahrawi republic.
The region covers an area of 50,880 km² and has a population of 73,067 (2004 census[1]). The capital is the coastal city of Dakhla, formerly known as Villa Cisneros.
The region is made up into one prefecture and one province:
- Prefecture of Aousserd
- Oued Eddahab Province
