Mahdjouba (Arabic: محجوبة) or mhadjeb is a crepe-like semolina based flatbread originating from Algeria.

A traditional Algerian dish, mhadjeb is a fine crepe-like semolina-based flatbread, typically stuffed with a mixture of onion, garlic, tomato, peppers and spices. It is very popular in all the regions of Algeria, including the southern regions such as Ouargla, Ghardaia, and Tamanrasset. It is one of the essential dishes offered in Algerian street foods. The mahdjouba, which means "covered" or "veiled" in Algerian Darja, originates from southern Algeria: Biskra, Touggourt. It is the vegetable-filled variation of m'semen, a traditional North African flatbread.
