Casablanca-Settat () is one of the twelve administrative regions of Morocco. It covers an area of 20,166 km2 and is the most populous region in Morocco with a recorded population of 7,688,967 in the 2024 Moroccan census, 73.3% of which lived in urban areas. The capital of the region is Casablanca.
==Geography== Casablanca-Settat is located on the Atlantic coast. It borders the regions of Rabat-Salé-Kénitra to the northeast, Béni Mellal-Khénifra to the southeast, and Marrakesh-Safi to the south. Part of the border with Marrakesh-Safi follows the course of the Oum Er-Rbia River, which flows northwest and empties into the Atlantic at Azemmour. The river divides the region into two plains, the Doukkala in the west and the Chaouia in the east. Several reservoirs provide water for the region, including that of the Al Massira Dam on the Oum Er-Rbia and one on the Oued Mellah south of Mohammedia.
