Angola is divided into twenty-one provinces, known in Portuguese as províncias. On 14 August 2024, Angola's National Assembly approved a law to create three new provinces:

• Cuando Cubango Province was divided into Cuando Province and Cubango Province;
• Icolo e Bengo Province was separated from Luanda Province; and
• Moxico Leste Province was separated from Moxico Province.

This law went into effect with its publication in the official gazette of Angola on 5 September 2024,^[1] and are expected to become operational in 2025.^[2] The former eighteen provinces are tabulated below:
