Sidi Bouzid, town in central Tunisia. It is located in the upland steppe country and was controlled by the Aghlabids in the 9th century ce.

Sidi Bouzid lies in the semiarid land south of the Dorsale Mountains. Although the surrounding area has infertile soil and scanty rainfall, it has become a rich agricultural region because of irrigation projects undertaken by the government. Wheat and barley are grown, and sheep are raised. An oil pipeline from Al-Dūlāb oil field to La Skhira (Al-Ṣukhayrah) port runs through the area. Industry in and around the town is based mainly on the processing of agricultural goods. Pop. (2004) 39,915.
