Ahmed Taleb Ibrahimi (Arabic: أحمد طالب الإبراهيمي; 5 January 1932 – 5 October 2025) was an Algerian politician and intellectual.
Taleb Ibrahimi was the son of Islamic theologian and renowned scholar Bachir Ibrahimi, and served in multiple ministerial roles in Algeria from the 1960s until the late 1980s. A staunch anti-colonialist and proponent of Arab heritage through his writings and his actions, Dr. Ibrahimi was jailed by the French authorities as a militant of the FLN Party. He ran for president in 1999 but withdrew from the race along with all other opposition candidates hours before voting commenced, claiming electoral fraud by the army. In 2004, his proposed candidacy was disqualified because of alleged links with the proscribed Islamic Salvation Front (FIS). His platform included moderate Islamism and adherence to free-market economics.
