Abdelhafid Tasfaout (born February 11, 1969 in Oran, Algeria) is an Algerian former football midfielder. He was captain of the Algerian national football team for five years.

He was voted on the AJ Auxerre's greatest team ever. [http://www.aja.fr/siteofficiel/sondage_equipe_type_resultat.asp]

Tasfaout suffered a horrendous head injury during the 2002 African Cup of Nations in Mali. An ambulance was driven onto the pitch to give assistance and at the time many of his team-mates feared he had been killed. However, he made a miraculous recovery.
