Sherif Boubaghla or Cherif Boubaghla (in Arabic: الشريف بوبغلة , the man with the mule) (full name Muhammad Al-Amjad bin Abd Almalik محمد الأمجد بن عبد المالك) was an Algerian military resistance leader who led a struggle against the French colonial invasion in the mid-19th century.

In 1832, Abdelkader ben Muhieddiene declared a jihad to stop the French conquest and to re-establish an independent Algerian state, and established his emirate and center of resistance around Mascara.

[4] It is there that he would come to know Lalla Fatma N'Soumer whom he would start courting, however, as her husband, despite being estranged, would not grant her divorce, they remained platonic friends.

He fell on muddy ground, then the spy killed him and cut his head and took it to the French ruler of Bordj Bou Arréridj Province.

On 3 July 2020, Algeria received from France the remaining skulls of 24 resistance Algerian anti-colonial fighters.
