The Battle of Sikkak was fought on 6 July 1836 at the Sikkak river between French forces under General Thomas Robert Bugeaud,and a coalition of Algerian tribes of western Algeria under Emir Abd al-Qadir, who had in the previous year defeated the French at the Battle of Macta.
The result was a French victory, that lead to the Treaty of Tafna negotiated between the two commanders of this battle.
The battle represents the last large clash of forces between France and the forces of Abd al-Qadir, though with intermittent peace agreements he would continue to wage a low intensity conflict against French rule until his surrender in 1847.
