List of zones of Ethiopia

The regions of Ethiopia are administratively divided into 68 or more zones (Amharic: ዞን, zonə), (Oromo: Godina).[1] The exact number of zones is unclear, as the names and number of zones given in documents by Ethiopia's Central Statistical Agency differ between 2005[1] and 2007.[2] Various maps give different zone names and boundaries.
