Il Somaliland (letteralmente "Terra dei Somali"), ufficialmente Repubblica del Somaliland, è uno Stato indipendente dell'Africa orientale senza alcun riconoscimento della comunità internazionale, composto dalle province settentrionali della Somalia. È situato nel Corno d'Africa e compreso tra l'8º e l'11º parallelo a nord dell'equatore e tra i 42°30' e i 49° di longitudine est di Greenwich; occupa l'intera area di quella che fino al 1960 fu la Somalia britannica e che dal 26 giugno al 1º luglio 1960 fu lo Stato del Somaliland. Confina con il Gibuti a ovest, con l'Etiopia a sud e con la Somalia a est. Le province somale con cui confina il Somaliland, che hanno recentemente rivendicato il diritto a costituirsi in Stato autonomo (senza separarsi dalla Somalia), sono il Puntland e il Khatumo, ma in passato sugli stessi territori erano sorti anche il Maakhir e il Northland. La situazione è ancora oggetto di controversia (vedi anche disputa Somaliland-Puntland). Il Somaliland ha una costa a nord del paese che si estende per 740 km lungo il golfo di Aden.
