Awasa Zuria is one of the woredas in the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region (SNNPR) of Ethiopia. Part of the Sidama Zone located in the Great Rift Valley, Awasa Zuria is bordered on the south by Shebedino and Boricha, on the west and north by the Oromia Region, and on the east by Wondo Genet. Town of Awasa and woredas of Wondo Genet and Malga were separated from former Awasa woreda. The rest of this woreda was renamed for Awasa Zuria (Greater Awasa).
