Tadla is a historical and geographical region of Morocco, located in the center of the country, north of the High Atlas mountain range and west of the Middle Atlas. It is the region of origin of the eponymous collection of tribal, semi-nomadic pastoralist population, the Tadla tribes.
Nowadays, the historical region of Tadla is mainly part of the administrative region of Béni Mellal-Khénifra, except for the historical territory of the Beni Meskine tribe, which is part of the Casablanca-Settat administrative region.

The region was relatively green and had a good agricultural potential, thus its name, Tadla, which comes from the Amazigh or Standard Moroccan Amazigh word "tadla" (written:ⵜⴰⴷⵍⴰ) meaning "the sheaf" (of wheat).[1]
