Farsia (Arabic: الفرسية, romanized: al-Farsīyah, Spanish: El Farsia), is an isolated village in Western Sahara, situated within the Moroccan-occupied territories. It was occupied by the Moroccan military on 31 October 1975, after Spanish troops evacuated their post. The Moroccan forces were later pushed out of Farsia by the Polisario.
