Abane Ramdane (June 10, 1920 – December 27, 1957) was an Algerian revolutionarist born in Kabylie. He was the architect of the Congress of Soummam in 1956. Egyptians participated in his assassination.^{citation needed}

The National Liberation Front (FLN) had him killed because he was supposedly creating a cult of the individual rather than the collective leadership. He was "super-political" and his murder was disturbing to many FLN members including President Boumadienne who, according to the book, A Savage War of Peace, kept the assassins out of his future Algerian government.

A few years after independence, he was reburied in his native village of Azouza in Kabylie¹.
