Deir Mawas or Deir Muas (Arabic: دير مواس, lit. 'monastery of razors') is a city in Egypt. It is located in the Minya Governorate, on the west bank of the Nile.

The name of the city likely comes from a now vanished Coptic monastery of Archangel Michael.

On 18 March 1919, the people of Deir Mawas Led by the family of AbouZeid, joined the revolution against Great Britain, which swept across Egypt. They cut the railway-roads and killed a number of British officers, and the British retaliated by executing a number of the city's civilians. The day of 18 March has become the official holiday of Al Minya Governorate in commemoration of those executed by the British.
