Malik Oussekine (1964 – 6 December 1986) was a French-Algerian student.

Oussekine had been participating in mass student protests in Paris against university reforms (the so-called "Devaquet Law") and proposed immigration restrictions when he was arrested by police. Oussekine subsequently died in police custody in disputed circumstances, with his death resulting in an intensifying in protests. The laws were scrapped two days later. [1]
