Ouargla or Warqla (Arabic: ولاية ورقلة) is a province (wilaya) in eastern Algeria. Its capital is Ouargla. Other localities include Hassi Ben Abdellah and Hassi Messaoud. It contains the Issaouane Erg desert.
In the past Ouargla was the center of trading of gold and slaves,[citation needed] as well as being an important center of Ibadi Islam. However, the Ibadis have left for the M'zab valley.
In 2019, Touggourt Province was carved out of its territory.
