Chaouia-Ouardigha, Former administrative region in north-central Morocco.

The region covered 7,010 square kilometers between the Oum er-Rbi River, the Cherrate River, the Tadla plain, and the Atlantic Ocean.

French forces established three civil control zones in Chaouia during the protectorate period: Chaouia-North, Chaouia-Center, and Chaouia-South.

The name Chaouia derives from 'Chaoui', meaning shepherds, reflecting the traditional livestock-based economy of the local population.

The territory merged into Casablanca-Settat and Béni Mellal-Khénifra regions during Morocco's administrative reorganization in September 2015.

The region's soil, known as tirs, maintains exceptional fertility in specific areas like Mdhakra, making it valuable for agricultural production.
