The Mascara campaign of 1699–1701 was launched by Moulay Zidan, son of the Moroccan Sultan Moulay Ismail, to capture the Beylik of Mascara, situated in the west of the Regency of Algiers. This episode, which ended in 1701 with the Moroccan's defeat at the Battle of Chelif, reopened the hostilities between the Sherifian Empire and the Regency of Algiers.
