TelQuel (French: for as is) (slogan:Morocco as it is), is a French-language Moroccan weekly magazine. It is privately owned, and has an independent and often critical editorial line towards the Moroccan government. It has taken its name from the French literary journal Tel Quel, published from 1960 to 1982. Its present director of publication is Ahmed Benchemsi. The editor-in-chief is Karim Boukhari.

TelQuel has been repeatedly subjected to harassment and pressures from the Moroccan government, according to press freedom watchdogs such as Reporters without Borders.(RSF)[1] It was convicted in 2005 on charges of defamation, in what the RSF described as a political trial.[2]

TelQuel has now a Moroccan arabic edition, Nichane.
