Massa (Arabic: مسة or ماسة) is a town in the District of Jebel el-Akhdar in north-eastern Libya. It is located 10 km west of Beida.[1] During Italian rule, the town was known as Villaggio Luigi Razza,[2] probably after the late Italian politician of the same name.

There is an association in Massa named Ain as Saqr interested in gathering Libyan antiquities.
