This article is about the territory of Western Sahara in Africa. For the disputed claims to this territory as being a subnational division or a state, see Southern Provinces and Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic.

Western Sahara (Arabic: الصحراء الغربية; transliterated: al-Ṣaḥrā' al-Gharbīyah; Spanish: Sahara Occidental) is one of the most sparsely populated territories in the world, mainly consisting of desert flatlands. It is a territory of northwestern Africa, bordered by Morocco to the north, Algeria in the northeast, Mauritania to the east and south, and the Atlantic Ocean on the west. The largest city is El Aaiún (Laâyoune), which is home to a majority of the population of the territory.

Western Sahara is on the United Nations list of Non-Self-Governing Territories, meaning that in the UN's eyes, the territory has not been decolonized.

The Kingdom of Morocco and the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) presently dispute the control of the territory, Morocco claiming the Sahara as an integral part of the kingdom, while the SADR is a government in exile, controlling a minority of the territory. The rest is controlled and the entirety claimed by Morocco. The SADR is recognized by 48 states, and a full member of the African Union. Moroccan sovereignty or "territorial integrity" has been supported by members of the Arab League^*,^* and by 25 states.
