The capture of Béjaïa was the battle in which the Spanish Empire took possession of Béjaïa (also known as Bougie), then an emirate ruled by a branch of the Hafsid dynasty. This took place in 1510. The Spanish lost the city again 45 years later to Salah Rais and the Kingdom of Kuku in the Capture of Bougie (1555).
