The Aden region (Arabic: إقليم عدن, romanized: Iqlim 'Adan) is one of the proposed federal regions of Yemen that is expected to be activated in the next constitution, to be a federal autonomous region in southern Yemen. The Aden region includes four Yemeni “Wilayat” or States, which are Aden, Abyan, Lahij, and Al-Dhale.[5] Aden would serve as its capital.

The Aden region would make up about 7% of Yemen's total land, and be home to about 10% of Yemen's population.[5]
