The "French Intifada" is a perspective on the urban rioting which occurred predominantly in the urban conglomerations north of Paris, France in October 2005. It also posits the idea that a continuation of this violence, and in particular its escalation against police and other civil servants represents not merely another form of urban violence by the French immigrant youths, but an Islamic uprising against French authority.

Evidence for the hypothesis exists in that many of the Muslim majority areas within France are increasingly being regarded as off-limits to the French authorities.
