Msus or Zawiyat Msus (Arabic: زاوية مسوس), also Masous is a village in eastern Libya. It's located 130 km (81 mi) on the southeast of Benghazi, and far from Suluq on the same direction by 80 km (50 mi).^[1]

There is a road linking her to Suluq. It's also linked with Charruba (about 69 km (43 mi) to the north) by another road.

Msus had been a site of several battles between Italian colonial forces and Libyan resistance fighters, such as the one that took place on March 3, 1914, between the latter (withdrawing from the Battle of Sceleildima) and the former.^[2]
