Maskat ([ˈmaskat], arabisch مسقط, DMG Masqaṭ; aus dem Englischen stammende Alternativschreibweise: Muscat) ist die Hauptstadt Omans und liegt im gleichnamigen Gouvernement Maskat. Der Name bedeutet Ort des Fallens, was von der Nutzung als Ankerplatz oder von den steil abfallenden Bergen abgeleitet werden kann. Die eigentliche Stadt hat nur etwa 30.000 Einwohner, zusammen mit ihren Vororten Matrah, Ruwi, Qurum und Sib bildet sie die Muscat Capital Area.
