Timiaouine (also called Timiaouine, Timéiaouine, Timéiawine) (Arabic: ﺗﻴﻤﻴﺎوﻳﻦ, in amazigh language: ⵜⵉⵎⵢⴰⵡⵉⵏ) is a town and commune in Bordj Badji Mokhtar District, Bordj Baji Mokhtar Province, in southwest Algeria near the border with Mali.

[2] In 1904, France sent two columns to exploit the last major gap in the central Sahara, the Adrar des Ifoghas.

Timiaouine is 582 meters north of Adrar des Ifoghas, a large massif in the Sahara Desert that extends further south to Kidal in Mali.

The area immediately stands out for the large granitic rocks that are found to the west of the town, and further north.

The territory of the municipality of Timiauine is located in the southeast of the province of Adrar, in the extreme south of Algeria.
