Maysan Governorate is one of the governorates of Iraq, and its capital is the city of Al-Amarah. In the mid-twentieth century the territory was the Amara liwa, and in February 1976 the name of the province was changed from Amara to Maysan. About 1970 the status of such divisions had changed from liwa to muhafazat, the Arabic word usually translated as governorate. The 1997 census counted 637,126 people in the governorate, and the census of 25 November 2024 counted 1,293,636. The Statoids table of Iraqi provinces gives the area as 16,072 square kilometres. Maysan is one of the eighteen first-level divisions that the Statoids table lists for Iraq.
