The Faculty of Letters and Human Sciences of Dhar El Mahraz (French: Faculté des Lettres et des Sciences Humaines Dhar El Mahraz; FLDM) is a historic Moroccan public institution of higher education. Established in 1961, it is the oldest faculty of the Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University (USMBA) and serves as a premier center for humanities and social sciences in Fez.[1]

The faculty holds a unique position in the history of Moroccan higher education. It was founded in 1961 as an annex of the Mohammed V University in Rabat, initially focusing exclusively on Arabic Studies to preserve and promote national heritage. Upon the creation of the Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University in 1975, the faculty became its founding constituent and expanded its scope to include a wider range of linguistic and humanistic disciplines.
