thumb|Al Yusufiyah, Mulla Fayyaz, Sippar-Amnanum and Al Mahmoudiyah Yusufiyah (; also transliterated as Yusafiyah, Youssifiyah or Yusifiyah, occasionally prefixed with Al-) is a regional township in the Baghdad Governorate of Iraq.
==Background== Yusufiyah is named after Yūsuf (Joseph). It is about south of Baghdad and approximately east of Fallujah. It is west of the large city of Mahmudiyah, and northwest of the town of Latifiyah. Yusufiyah is similar in name to the area known as Sadr al Yusufiyah, which is a larger, more urban area near a Russian thermal power plant, approximately west-northwest of the town of Yusufiyah. A major canal, known as the Yusufiyah canal, runs from Sadr al Yusufiyah in the west, through Yusufiyah, and south to Latifiyah.
