Wancii, also spelled Wancii in Oromo, is a woreda in the central Oromia Region of Ethiopia. It is located in the Southwest Shewa Zone; bordered on the southwest by Amaya, on the north by Western Shawa Zone (Ambo district), and on the southeast by Waliso and Goro District. The administrative centre of Wanchi is Chitu. Dariyan and Haroo-Wancii have emerged as rapidly growing rural towns. Specially Haroo-Wancii town, which is located at a distance of 5 km from Wancii Crater lake, is attracting the attention of many investors and booming.

The highest point in Wanchi is Wonchi volcano, which is about 3,450 metres (11,320 ft)[1] above sea level.

Warqee (also known as Enset) is by far the most important staple crop in the area.
