'''Wag''' is a [[highland (geography)|highland]] [[district]] in the [[Amhara Region]] of [[Ethiopia]], in the approximate location of the modern [[Wag Hemra Zone]]. The district seat is the town of [[Sokota]], which has been a major market center for centuries.
Wag was given to the heirs of the deposed [[Zagwe dynasty]], when the [[Solomonic dynasty]] was restored to the throne of Ethiopia in [[1270]]. The head of the fallen Zagwe family accepted the district as well as the title of [[Wagshum]] as part of the settlement for their loss.
