Ouahigouya (Mossi: Wayugyã) is a city in northern Burkina Faso, situated 182 kilometres northwest of Ouagadougou.

It is also the biggest town in the Nord Region and the fourth largest city in the country with a population of 124,587 (2019)[1] The city itself has a stadium, a private non-profit Paediatric Hospital with 36 beds for giving birth and 24 beds for children suffering of severe malnutrition, a post office with internet access and at least one Ecobank bank branch.

The two dams just north and west of the town permit it to pursue some vegetable planting aided by irrigation, such as tomatoes, carrots, onions and mainly potatoes.

In terms of commerce, the city takes advantage of its relative ease of access to the country's capital, Ouagadougou, to buy manufactured products and resell to the local economy.

Features of Ouahigouya include Naaba Kango's tomb, the Yatenga Naba's compound and an artificial lake.
