Zuwarah, Zuwara, or Zwara (; ) is a coastal city in north-western Libya.
Zuwara is primarily inhabited by Berber people, who are direct descendants of the Sea Peoples who arrived around 1200 BC and are well documented in Egyptian records, and the name Libya means "the big northern Sea People". The local Berber dialect, known locally as Awal m at-willul, is commonly spoken as a first language by the inhabitants of Zuwara.
