Farida Amrouche (in Arabic: فريدة عمروش), is an Algerian actress.
Coming from a family of artists, she was trained in the 1960s at the Algerian conservatory by Allel El Mouhib. She then worked as an actress at the Algerian National Theater, then directed by Mustapha Kateb, for thirty years, and in 1967 she won the 1st Prize for Interpretation at the Timgad Festival. She then played in cinema and television on both sides of the Mediterranean, in Algeria and France. In 1978 she married the director Farouk Mezouane.
During the black decade in Algeria in the 1990s, she was forced into exile, after the assassination of many artists. She took refuge in France, where she did odd jobs to earn money, and joined the Théâtre du Soleil directed by Ariane Mnouchkine and was able to continue what inspired her above all, theater.
