Bardaï is a small town and oasis in the extreme north of Chad, the main town of the Tibesti area, one of the four departments of the Bourkou-Ennedi-Tibesti region.

Bardaï came to international attention in 1974, when a rebel group, led by Hissène Habré, attacked the town and captured a French archeologist, Françoise Claustre and two other European citizens.
