Al Kufrah (Arabic: الكفرة ), also spelled Cufra is one of the municipalities of Libya. Its capital is Al Jawf.[1] There is a very large oil refinery near the capital.

- Al Wadi al Jadid Governorate, Egypt - east
- ash-Shamaliyah State, Sudan - southeast
- Shamal Darfor State, Sudan - far southeast
- Bourkou-Ennedi-Tibesti Region, Chad - south
Domestically, it borders the following municipalities:
- Murzuq - west
- Al Jufrah - northwest, southwest of Ajdabiya
- Ajdabiya - northwest, northeast of Al Jufrah
- Al Wahat - north
- Al Butnan - northeast
