Oued ed Dahab-Lagouira ( Arabic وادي الذهب لكويرة) was the southernmost administrative region of Morocco until the administrative reform of 2015 . It had around 145,000 inhabitants (2009 estimate); the capital was Dakhla .

The region consisted of the following provinces:

• Aousserd
• Oued ed Dahab

The region lay entirely within the territory of the Western Sahara . The northern border of the region runs slightly north of the area assigned to Mauritania by the partition plan for Spanish Sahara of April 1976. From 1976 to 1979, Mauritania declared the south of Western Sahara to be the province of Tiris el-Gharbia ("West Tiris") and the districts of Dakhla , Aousserd, Tichla and Argoub .

In 2015, the Oued ed Dahab-Lagouira region was merged into the new Dakhla-Oued Ed-Dahab region .
