Waddan (Arabic: ودان‎) is a Saharan desert oasis town in the northeast Fezzan region of southwest Libya. It is in the Al Jufrah District.
Waddan is located 280 km (175 miles) south of Sirt, and 20 km (12 miles) northeast of Houn. The town is at the crossroads of the Sirt-Waddan Road and the Fezzan Road.
The natural springs support native date palm (Phoenix dactylifera) groves.
During the 2011 Libyan Civil War, NATO forces bombed an ammunition store in the town.
