Casablanca (em árabe الدار البيضاء, ad-Dhar-al-Bayda) é a maior cidade de Marrocos, na costa atlântica do país. Tem cerca de 3,7 milhões de habitantes. É o maior porto e o maior centro industrial e comercial de Marrocos.
A cidade possui uma praça principal, da qual irradiam diversas avenidas. Na generalidade, os edifícios constituem uma versão francesa da arquitectura árabe-andaluza, brancos com linhas simples, sendo de especial interesse a área da Praça das Nações Unidas, onde se localizam as maiores infra-estruturas.
Casablanca está no local da antiga Anfa, localidade destruída em 1468 pelos portugueses. Em 1515 estes fundaram a actual cidade com o nome de Casa Branca.
Destruída pelo terramoto de 1755, foi reconstruída pelo sultão de Marrocos em 1757. Nessa época instalaram-se na cidade muitos mercadores espanhóis passando Casa Branca a ser conhecida como Casablanca. Foi ocupada em 1907 pelos franceses que promoveram o seu desenvolvimento.
Durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, em Janeiro de 1943, foi o palco de uma conferência entre o presidente norte-americano Franklin D. Roosevelt e o primeiro-ministro britânico Winston Churchill.
