Ahmed Akhchichine (Arabic: أحمد أخشيشين – born 26 March 1954 in Marrakech) is a Moroccan politician of the Authenticity and Modernity Party. Between 2007 and 2012, he held the position of Minister of Education in the cabinet of Abbas El Fassi.[1][2][3][4] In 2015 he was elected president of the Marrakech-Safi region.[5]

Between 2003 and 2012, he was the president of the "HACA" (Haute Autorité de la Communication Audiovisuelle) Morocco's radio and television highest regulating authority.[1]

Although he belongs to the Authenticity and Modernity Party, he participated in the cabinet as an independent since his party, which formed in 2008, positioned itself in the opposition.
