Relizane or Ghilizan (Tamazight: ⵖⵉⵍⵉⵣⴰⵏ, romanized: Ɣilizan, Arabic: غلیزان, romanized: Ghilīzān) is a city in Algeria. It is the capital city of Relizane Province.In 2008, its population was 130,094, of which 109,689 resided in the city of Relizane itself.

Relizane is the successor to the historic city of Mina, which witnessed the passage of numerous civilizations and powers, notably the Numidians, Romans, and Vandals, and which reached its peak in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD.

Relizane's geographical location is of great strategic importance: it lies at the crossroads of several local and national roads, including the current National Routes 4, 23, and 7, as well as the railway network connecting central and western Algeria.

Thanks to its location on the banks of the Mina Valley and in the Mina Plain, Relizane boasts numerous olive groves and citrus orchards destined for the food processing industry.
