Westmaark, officially the Province of Westmaark (Azmaran: Ryk âb Westmaark) and sometimes referred to as Westmark or Westmarch in Estmerish, is one of the eight provinces of Azmara. The largest province of the country, it makes up a significant proportion of the north of the country and borders the province of Nordberg to the north, the North Sea to the northeast, Haadland to the east, Groonbank and Aalmsted to the south and Ostlaak to the west, while sharing a border with the Weranian province of Cislania to the northwest.

The province's name derives from the Western March, a founding state of the Rudolphine Confederation which consisted of much of modern-day Azmara. The 1076 division of this state would relegate the scope of the Western March to the northwest of the country, and further reorganisations and its personal union with the Duchy of Groonbank would lead to the name transitioning from a name for the region as a whole to the name of a specific region of the country, with the corresponding Margraviate of Westmaark in the Azmaran Confederation and the Kingdom of Azmara roughly corresponding with the modern-day province. Notably, however, this constituent entity would be briefly dissolved as its name was used as the Republic of Westmaark and it would be reorganised into its modern form following the 1855 Revolution.

The modern province is the second most populous after Groonbank, and covers a significant area of the country including the northern third of the Bojnersteden conurbation, where the province's largest city of Stajnensby is located, and a significant rural area in the north of the province, with the provincial capital of Mideltuun being located in the southeast of the province.
