Taroudant (Moroccan Arabic: تارودانت, romanized: Tarudant, [taːruːdaːnt]; Tachelhit: ⵜⴰⵔⵓⴷⴰⵏⵜ) is a city in the Sous in southwestern Morocco.

[4][5][6] According to Moroccan news media, the current layout of the city walls dates to the Saadi period in the 16th century.

[3] In the 17th century, Taroudant was the base of Sidi Yahya, a local chieftain who successfully aided the Saadi sultan Moulay Zaydan against Abu Mahalli, a rebel who had captured Marrakesh.

[7] When France began to impose its protectorate on Morocco in 1912, Ahmed al-Hiba used Taroudant as his capital to resist the French.

Today, Taroudant is a notable market town with a souk near each of its two main squares, Assarag and Talmoklate.
