Hocine Aït Ahmed (Arabic: حسين آيت أحمد‎; 20 August 1926 – 23 December 2015) was an Algerian politician.

He was one of the main leaders of the National Liberation Front (FLN) in the Algerian War, and was arrested along with Ahmed Ben Bella, Mohamed Boudiaf, Mostefa Lacheraf [ar], and Mohamed Khider after France hijacked the airplane the FLN leaders bound for Tunisia, and directed it to occupied Algiers.

After the riots of 1988, the Algerian president Chadli Bendjedid proposed a new constitution calling for political pluralism.

He repeatedly returned to Algeria since then, including during the 50th anniversary of the outbreak of the war of liberation (November 1, 1954).

Aït Ahmed died at the age of 89 in Lausanne, Switzerland on 23 December 2015.
