Dakhlet Nouadhibou is a bay on the Atlantic shore of Mauritania.
The bay is open towards the south and contains numerous shoals. It is limited by the Cap Blanc headland on its western side.
In French maps the inner bay is known as Baie de l'Archimède and the wider bay as Baie du Lévrier. Currently the Dakhlet Nouadhibou Region, an administrative division of Mauritania, is named after it.
