Aghmat (Tashelhit: Aɣmat, Āghmāt; pronounced locally Ughmat, Uɣmat) was an important commercial medieval Berber town in Morocco. It is today an archaeological site known as "Joumâa Aghmat".
The city is located approximately 30 km south-east of Marrakesh on the Ourika road. The initial "a" of the name may be unvocalized, and the name may sometimes be spelled "Ghmat", "Ghmate" or even the French-style "Rhmate" (as it appears in the Michelin Guide).
