Djendel (formerly Lavigerie during the period of French colonization) is a commune in the Aïn Defla wilaya in northern Algeria, located 110 km southwest of Algiers, 40 km east of Aïn Defla, and 30 km southwest of Médéa.

Formerly a mixed commune (commune mixte[fr] - an area where Europeans were present though in very small numbers) in the Algiers département of French Algeria,[1] created on 25 August 1880, Djendel incorporated the douars (tribal territories) of Djendel, Ghribs, and Oued-Telbenet.

[2] On 16 December 1905 Djendel absorbed some of the dissolved mixed commune of Hammam Righa.

The region is agricultural, and includes the Ghrib Dam [fr; de; sv].
