Al-Kahina (), also known as Dihya, was a Berber warrior-queen of the Aurès (present-day Algeria) and a religious and military leader who lived during the 7th century.
Al-Kahina is known to have united various Berber tribes under her leadership to fight against the Muslim conquest of the Maghreb, leading the indigenous North African defense of the region then known as Numidia. She fought in multiple battles, notably defeating Umayyad forces in the Battle of Meskiana. Afterwards, she became the uncontested ruler of the whole Maghreb region, and remained so until being decisively defeated at the Battle of El Jem.
