Barotseland is a region in the Western Province of Zambia, and is the homeland of the Lozi people. Historically it has had substantial autonomy within Zambia, and support exists for full independence.

Barotseland is Zambia's least developed region, with only one tarred road into the province, from Lusaka to the provincial capital of Mongu. Electricity supplies are erratic, relying on an aging connection to the hydroelectric plant at Victoria Falls.

The traditional monarch of Barotseland is called the Litunga.
