Nouria Benghabrit-Remaoun (born 5 March 1952) is an Algerian sociologist and researcher who serves in the government of Algeria as Minister of National Education.[1]

Her previous function was director of the National Centre of Research in Social and Cultural Anthropology. She was a member of The Committee for Development Policy (CDP), subsidiary body of the United Nations Economic and Social Council.[2][3]

As education minister, she favours the use of Darija as the language of education in Algeria.[4] She is noted, along with other government ministers, for seeming "unable to complete a sentence in proper Arabic."[4]

She is the granddaughter of Si Kaddour Benghabrit's brother.
