Tahirou Congacou (1911 – 15 June 1993)[1][2] was a Beninese politician, most active during the 1960s, when his country was known as Dahomey.

Congacou was born to a Dendi family in 1913 and was a descendant of the Djougou royal house.

On 29 November 1965, General Christophe Soglo forcibly removed Justin Ahomadégbé-Tomêtin's mandate.

He temporarily handed power to Congacou, under the provisions of Articles 17 and 35 of the Dahomeyan constitution.

[6] Congacou was charged to form a national coalition to end the regionalism that dominated Dahomeyan politics at the time.
