Abdel Kader (Arabic: عبد القادر) is an Arabic song made famous by the Algerian raï artist Khaled. It is featured on his 1993 studio album N'ssi N'ssi and gained further popularity from the live performance on the 1998 live album 1,2,3 Soleils (sung with Rachid Taha and Faudel).
The name of the song refers to the 19th century Algerian Sufi saint `Abd al-Qādir al-Jazā'irī.
