Samawah or As-Samawah (Arabic: ٱلسَّمَاوَة, romanized: as-Samāwah) is a city in Iraq, 280 kilometres (174 mi) southeast of Baghdad.

The city of Samawah is the modern capital of the Al Muthanna Governorate. The city is located midway between Baghdad and Basra, at the northern edge of the governorate. The province was established in 1975; prior to that date it was a unified province along with Qadissiya (Diwaniya) and Najaf.
