Faya-Largeau is the largest city in northern Chad, the capital of the region of Bourkou-Ennedi-Tibesti. It has a population of 9,867 (as of 1993).

Originally called Faya, during the colonial era, the town was renamed Largeau, while on independence it assumed the name Faya-Largeau.

Due to the considerable underground water supply in the town, the main industry is agriculture, while three lakes lie immediately north of Faya-Largeau.
