Moxico (Portuguese spelling) or Moshiko (Bantu spelling) is the largest province of Angola. It has an area of , and covers 18% of the landmass of Angola.[1] The province has a population of 758,568 (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 population of the province is in flux; displaced residents have slowly returned to Moxico since the end of the Angolan Civil War in 2002.[1][2] The war left Moxico as one of the most landmine-contaminated places in the world.[3] The governor of the province is Gonçalves Manuel Muandumba.[4]

Luena is the capital of the Moxico Province, and is located from the Angolan capital of Luanda.[2]
