Mudug (Somali: Mudug; Italian: Mudugh) is an administrative region (gobol) in north-central Somalia. Mudug is bordered by the Ogaden, the Somali regions of Nugal and Galguduud, and the Somali Sea. The provincial capital is Galkayo.
The southern half of Mudug and the region of Galgaduud have formed the Galmudug State, which considers itself an autonomous state within the larger Federal Republic of Somalia, as defined by the provisional constitution of Somalia.
