Ahmed Assid (Berber languages: ⴰⵃⵎⴰⴷ ⵄⴰⵚⵉⴷ; born July 14, 1961) is a Moroccan Berber activist, a professor of philosophy, a poet, and a political activist, well known for being an active secularist.

In 2013, Assid received death threats several times, and three years later he was on the black list of ISIS and their main target among Moroccan figures.

In December 2014, Berber activist and writer Malika Mezzane claimed that Ahmed Assid had been harassing her for years.

[4] She subsequently revealed a customary "marriage contract" written and signed by Assid, and stated, “He destroyed my house and my life because of the alleged passion he had for me … and was one of the reasons behind my divorce.”[4] After coming under pressure and receiving threats for having denounced Assid, she made public a video of him in her house, as well as a number of photos of them together.

[5] Assid refused to answer the allegations and stated that he “[did] not want to discuss individuals' personal life on media.”[6]
