Tamentit (Arabic: تامنطيت, romanized: Tamanṭīṭ is a town and commune of Fenoughil District in Adrar Province in southcentral Algeria.

[1] Until the late twentieth century, the people of Tamentit spoke Gurara, a variety of the Berber language called Zenati, which is spoken by the Sanhaja.

In 1492, Muhammad al-Maghili destroyed the Jewish communities of the region of Tuat, including their primary synagogue in Tamentit.

The surviving Jews of Tamentit fled south along caravan routes and settled in communities along the Niger.

Tamentit is on the N6 national highway, which leads north to Adrar and south to Fenoughil commune and eventually Reggane.
