The Basra Region (Arabic: إقليم البصرة) is a proposed federal region of Iraq solely encompassing the Basra Governorate. The proposition is supported by a number of political parties and, since 2025, has gained significant support among Basrans. If successful, it will grant Basra autonomy.

The movement for Basra's autonomy, although older, gained significant popularity towards the end of 2025 after Iraq’s electoral commission (IHEC) officially approved the distribution of signature forms to initiate a referendum.
