Ahlam (or Ahlem) Mosteghanemi (Arabic: أحلام مستغانمي‎ born 13 April 1953),, constantine,algeria, the daughter of Algerian revolutionary leader Mohammed Chérif, is a notable Algerian writer. She is the first female Algerian author of Arabic-language works to be translated into English (famous Algerian novelist Assia Djebar writes in French). Thus far, the first two of a trilogy have been translated. They are Memory in the Flesh and Chaos of the Senses. They reflect and feature the Algerian struggle for postcolonial success and security.

Mosteghanemi's prose have long been commented on for their sweeping and inspiring portrayal of the Algerian plight while still keeping the sparse effect of the harsh Algerian desert.

Mosteghanemi lives in Beirut, Lebanon.
