The "Barbary States" (or the Barbary Coast) were the North African polities along the Mediterranean noted for the Barbary corsairs from roughly the 16th–19th centuries. They correspond to these modern countries:

- Morocco (the independent Sultanate of Morocco)
- Algeria (the Regency of Algiers)
- Tunisia (the Regency of Tunis)
- Libya (the Regency of Tripoli/Tripolitania)

These were mostly Ottoman regencies (Algiers, Tunis, Tripoli) except Morocco, and they are commonly cited in accounts of Barbary piracy and the Barbary Wars with European powers and the United States.
