M'sila ({{langx|ber|ⵎⵙⵉⵍⴰ}} {{Transliteration|ber|DIN|Msila}}) is a province ({{Transliteration|ar|wilaya}}) of northern Algeria. It has a population of 958361 people and an area of {{convert|18,718|km2}}, with a density of 74/square kilometers while its capital, also called M'sila, home to M'sila University, has a population of about 100,000.

Localities include Bou Saada and Maadid. Chott El Hodna, a salt lake, crosses into M'sila. However, most of the region is semi-arid and undeveloped.

Additionally, M'sila was the location of the first village constructed as part of a government-run program to transition nomadic Algerians to sedentary life using local materials.

The village, now complete, was dubbed Maader and consists of houses, public and trading areas, and a mosque.
