Ali Abdessalam Triki (Arabic: علي التريكي ) (born 1938) is a Libyan diplomat. He was foreign minister of Libya from 1976 to 1982 and again from 1984 to 1986.

Triki became Libya's Ambassador to France on February 3, 1995, and he subsequently served as Secretary for African Affairs[1] from May 1999 to June 2003. He was then appointed as Libya's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, his third time holding that post; he presented his credentials on September 18, 2003.[2] In mid-2004, he was instead appointed as Special Adviser to Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi,[3] and on January 3, 2005 he began a tour of African countries, acting as Gaddafi's special envoy, to work toward solutions for several African conflicts and disputes.[4] In mid-January 2005, when a reorganization of the Foreign Ministry took place, he was named Secretary for African Union Affairs by the General People's Congress of Libya.[5] Libya submitted Triki's candidacy in the election to the post of Chairperson of the African Union Commission at the AU summit in Addis Ababa in early 2008, but it was rejected because it was submitted late.[6]
