Maj.-Gen. Larbi Belkheir (Arabic: العربي بلخير) was an Algerian general and political figure.
He was born in Frenda (now in Tiaret Province) in 1938, and joined the French army, reaching the rank of second lieutenant.
He was close to the next president, Chadli Bendjedid, whom he helped choose; under Bendjedid's rule, he became head of the High Council for Security, secretary-general of the presidency, and head of the Cabinet, and attained the rank of major-general.
In December 2003, a refugee, Mehdi Mosbah, filed a suit against Belkheir in Paris for torture, on the basis that he had headed the Interior Ministry at the time and was thus responsible for police conduct; however, Belkheir left France soon after.
He died on 28 January 2010, Ain Naadja, and was buried at Ben Aknoun cemetery.
