Chaouki Ben Saada (Arabic: شوقي ابن سعادة) (born July 1, 1984 in Bastia, Corsica, France) is a Tunisian footballer, currently playing for SC Bastia in Ligue 2. He plays as either a midfielder or a striker, and in 105 appearances (to June 2006) has scored 7 goals for the team.

He played international football for France at youth level, earning an Under-17 World Championship medal in 2001. Since then, he adopted the Tunisian nationality of his parents, and first played for the national side in March 2005. He has won 12 international caps, scoring 1 goal (as at 7 June 2006). He was in the Tunisian squad for the 2006 African Cup of Nations, but was initially omitted from the squad for 2006 World Cup, before being called up to replace Issam Jomaa, who withdrew with a knee injury. Despite much interest from bigger clubs, he remains in France because of his commitment to Bastia.
