Masisi Territory is a territory which is located within the North Kivu Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Its political headquarters are located in the town of Masisi.

Masisi territory has an area of 4,734 km². Masisi Territory is administratively subdivided into four sectors: Bahunde, Bashali, Katoyi, and Osso.

Masisi is bordered by Walikale Territory on the west and north, Rutshuru Territory to the northeast, Nyiragongo Territory and Goma to the east, and South Kivu to the south.

Language-wise, French is the DRC's administrative language. The most common language for a majority of the local population (56%) is Swahili. Many of the migrants with Rwandan background speak Kinyarwanda (15%), while some natives speak Hunde (20%). A few people speak Tembo (2%), who migrated from Lubero Territory and Beni Territory, and a few others speak Nande (2%), which is more common in the south of Masisi in the two Ufamando groupings.
