Algeria–Morocco relations (Arabic: العلاقات بين الجزائر و المغرب; French: Relations entre l'Algérie et le Maroc) refers to bilateral relations between the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria and the Kingdom of Morocco. Morocco is represented in Algeria by an embassy and consulate general in Algiers, as well as two consulates in Oran and Sidi Bel Abbès; Algeria is represented in Morocco by a consulate general in Rabat, and two consulates in Casablanca and Oujda. Relations between the two North African states have been marred by several crises since their independence, particularly the 1963 Sand War, the Western Sahara War of 1975–1991, the closing of the Algeria-Morocco border in 1994 and an ongoing disagreement over the political status of Western Sahara.
