Mozabite (endonym: tamazight), also known as Mzab, Tumẓabt or Ghardaia, is a Zenati language spoken by the Mozabites, an Ibadi Berber group inhabiting the seven cities of the M'zab natural region in the northern Saharan Algeria. It is also spoken by small numbers of Mozabite emigrants in other local cities and elsewhere. Mozabites also use Algerian Arabic. As of 2010, UNESCO estimated there to be about 150,000 Mozabite speakers.

Mozabite is one of the Mzab–Wargla languages, a dialect cluster of the Zenati languages.
