The Moroccan Western Sahara Wall is an approximately 2,700 km long structure, mostly a sand wall (or "berm"), running through Western Sahara and the southwestern portion of Morocco. It separates the Moroccan-occupied and -controlled areas (the Southern Provinces) on the west from the Polisario-controlled areas (Free Zone, nominally Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic) on the east.

According to maps from the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO) or the UNHCR, the wall extends several kilometers into internationally recognized Mauritanian territory.
