Tamazgha is a recent Tamazight neologism for the area more often known as the Maghreb or North Africa, covering the area between the Mediterranean Sea and the Niger River, from Siwa Oasis to the Atlantic Ocean. The main inhabited areas are northern Libya and the Atlas Mountains chain from Tunisia to Western Sahara. It corresponds roughly to Herodotus' Libya, and to the medieval European term Barbary.

It has been translated into Spanish as Mazigia, term used by Canarian separatists. It abbreviated as MZG and used as an alternative international license plate code for some people *.
