{{Politics of Algeria}}

[[Algeria]], as of 2025, is divided into 69 [[wilaya|wilayas]] ([[province|provinces]]).<ref>{{Cite CIA World Factbook|country=Algeria}}</ref> Prior to November 16, 2025, there were 58 provinces. The 69 provinces are divided into 1,541 [[baladiyah]]s ([[Municipalities of Algeria|municipalities]]). The name of a province is always that of its capital city. 

According to the Algerian constitution, a wilaya is a territorial collectivity enjoying economic and diplomatic freedom, the APW, or ''Popular Provincial Parliament/Provincial Popular Parliament'' (the '''''A'''ssemblée '''P'''opulaire '''W'''ilayale'', in French) is the political entity governing a province, directed by the [[Wali (administrative title)|''Wali'']] ([[Governor]]), who is chosen by the [[Algerian President]] to handle the APW's decisions, the APW has also a president, who is elected by the members of the APW, which Algerians elect.

On November 16, 2025, the announcement was made of 11 new provinces in the ''[[Hautes Plaines]]'' and the south of the country. These 11 new provinces are Aflou, Barika, Ksar Chellala, Messaad, Aïn Oussera, Boussaâda, El Abiodh Sidi Cheikh, El Kantara, Bir El Ater, Ksar El Boukhari, and El Aricha. They were created at the expense of the former provinces of Laghouat, Batna, Tiaret, Djelfa, M'sila, El Bayadh, Biskra, Bouira, Médéa, and Tlemcen.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Tadjer |first=Rafik |date=2025-11-16 |title=Algérie : onze nouvelles wilayas créées, voici la liste |url=https://www.tsa-algerie.com/algerie-onze-nouvelles-wilayas-creees-voici-la-liste/ |access-date=2025-11-17 |website=TSA |language=fr-FR}}</ref>

By 1984 the number of Algerian provinces was fixed at 48 and established the list of municipalities or "communes" attached to each province. In 2019, 10 new provinces were added.<ref>{{Cite web |date=December 18, 2019 |title=Journal Officiel Algérie - F2019078.pdf |url=https://www.joradp.dz/FTP/JO-FRANCAIS/2019/F2019078.pdf |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200317193555/https://www.joradp.dz/FTP/JO-FRANCAIS/2019/F2019078.pdf |archive-date=March 17, 2020 |archive-format=PDF |publisher=www.joradp.dz |pages=12–15 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=CHAFAI |first=Mohamed |date=27 November 2019 |title=Ten administrative districts promoted into provinces with full prerogatives |work=www.aps.dz |url=https://www.aps.dz/en/algeria/32006-10-administrative-districts-promoted-into-provinces-with-full-prerogatives |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191129045601/https://www.aps.dz/en/algeria/32006-10-administrative-districts-promoted-into-provinces-with-full-prerogatives |archive-date=29 November 2019 |language=en}}</ref>

The province numbers are the first 31 provinces (see the second section) in [[Arabic language|Arabic]] alphabetical order, after the adding of 17 more provinces in 1983 and 10 more in 2019, the old numbering was kept and the 27 provinces created since 1984 have been assigned codes from 32 to 58, in Arabic [[alphabetical order]].

The following table presents the list of provinces, showing for each its numerical code, its name (which is in every case the same as the name of the capital city of the province), the number of districts ("dairas"), the number of municipalities, its area, and its population.

Immediately after independence, Algeria retained its 15 former French départements, which were renamed [[wilaya]]s (provinces) in 1968, for the most part, with some name changes:

*8A-El Wahat (Currently Ouargla, formerly Oasis)
*8B-Saoura (Currently Béchar)
*9A-Alger (Algiers)
*9B-Batna
*9C-Annaba (Formerly Bône, [[English language|English]]: Bona)

*9H-Orléansville (Then El Asnam, now Chlef)
*9J-Sétif
*9K-Tiaret
*9L-Tizi-Ouzou
*9M-Tlemcen
*9R-Saïda

== 1954–1962 ==
During the [[Algerian War of Independence]], the [[National Liberation Front (Algeria)|FLN]] adopted an organizational system divided by 6 numbered ''wilayas'':

#Aurès
#Constantine
#Kabylie
#Algiers
#Oran
#Sahara
