Moxico (Portuguese spelling) is a province of Angola.
It used to have an area of 223,023 square kilometres (86,110 mi2), which corresponded to 18% of the landmass of Angola. The province has a population of 758,568 according to the 2014 census, and a population density of approximately 3.4 residents per km2 (8.8/sq mi), making it one of the most sparsely populated areas of Angola. The eastern most part of the province has since become its own province, Moxico Leste.
Luena is the capital of the Moxico Province, and is located 1,314 kilometres (816 mi) from the Angolan capital of Luanda.
