Hadj Ahmed Chabane Dey (Arabic:الحاج احمد شعبان داي, romanized: al-ḥāǧ Aḥmad šaʿbān dāy) (d. 1695) was the fourth Dey of Algiers. He ruled from 1688 to 1695,[1] and was the first member of the Algerian Janissary Odjak to ever assume this position.[2] Under his leadership, Algeria enjoyed good relations with France. His military campaigns against Morocco and Tunis were successful. However, his enemies turned his Eastern army against him; he was removed from power and executed.
