Tachouaft Arabic: تاشوافث is a village in Bouhamza Commune, Seddouk District, Béjaïa Province, Algeria. It is located North of Tansaout and South of Tizert and Taourirt.[1][2]

The villages name is Kabyle and translates as "the shaded place".[3][4][5]

The village has a mosque, a football pitch and a cemetery.[6]

In late November 1957, the village was evacuated after an ambush at Ighzar n Tissemt in early November. Fighter jets shot at civilians in Tachouaft.[7]

During the Algerian War the village was bombed on 16 December 1958 by B-26 aircraft, practically destroying every building.[7][8]

A shell from the war was recently discovered during road clearing in a forest near the village.[9]
