Ain-Diab or Aïn Diab (Arabic: عين الدئاب, "fountain of the wolves") is a district of Casablanca, the largest city in Morocco, situated next to the beach of the same name and extending from the marabout of Sidi Abderrahman to Anfa , the western part of the center.

The beach of Aïn Diab, which is the northern boundary of the district, extends for about two kilometers between two rocky cables: the Corniche to the northeast and the islet of Sidi Abderrahman. To the south the limits of the district are the avenues of Anfa and the road of Azamor.

The neighborhood has two distinct parts topographically: the hill of Anfa, where there are blocks of luxury villas surrounded by forested parks, and the depression of Sindibad (Sinbad), which in geological terms is the result of the marine erosion formed around the cliffs , dunes and beaches. In this depression, between the sea and the Azamor road there are still some agricultural activities and one part is classified as green zone, while another part has been object of real estate speculation, being the space more or less distributed among recent allotments of houses and modest housing, many of them more or less precarious.

The district is known for its tourist activity, centered on the beach and the excitement of the Corniche, as well as the Ain-Diab motorway, where Formula 1 events took place and in 1957 and 1958.
