Tata (Arabic: طاطا, Berber languages: ⵟⴰⵟⴰ) is a city in central Morocco with a population of 18,611[1] according to the country's 2014 census. It is the largest city in Tata Province.[2]

It is situated on a desert plain of the Sahara Desert, southeast of Agadir and Taroudant, close to the Algerian border and the mountain range Anti-Atlas, located at the foot of the Bani mountain range, a lower range along the southern side of the Anti-Atlas (Arabic: سلسلة جبال باني). Tourists use the town as a base for excursions in the area. Tata lies on the N12 highway between the north-east of the regional capital Guelmim and the south of the neighboring region of Drâa-Tafilalet. Due to the remoteness of the area, there is no border crossing with Algeria.
