The FIA WTCR Race of Morocco (سباق المغرب) is a round of the World Touring Car Championship, held on the temporary Marrakech Street Circuit in the city of Marrakech in Morocco.

The race was first run in May 2009 on a purpose-built track. It was the first international car race in Morocco since the 1958 Moroccan Grand Prix at the Ain-Diab Circuit in Casablanca. It is also the only WTCC race to ever take place in Africa. The race was scheduled to be the season opener for the 2014 season for the first time, taking the place of the FIA WTCC Race of Italy.{{cite news|last=Tremayne|first=Sam|title=Marrakech to open 2014 WTCC season for the first time|url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/111148|work=Autosport|publisher=Haymarket Publications|access-date=8 November 2013|date=5 November 2013}}
