{{Short description|Tribe of the modern area of Algeria}}
The '''Banu Rashid''' were a tribe of the modern area of [Algeria](/source/Algeria), near the city of [Oran](/source/Oran). They entered into sporadic alliance with Spain, when faced with the threat of [Ottoman](/source/Ottoman_Empire) expansion.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=WAQbp7aLpZkC&pg=PA238 ''Africa from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century'' by Bethwell A.

“Just a year after his arrival, in 1535, he had sent an army port another client Zayyanid prince trying to claim the throne of Tlemcen. This had not proved as easy as the attack on the elder Barbarossa brother, when the Spaniards had enjoyed the support of many of the local tribes. On their way back the Spanish expeditionary force were pinned down within the fortress of Tibda. Isolated from assistance, they had been overwhelmed by the Beni Rashid tribe. Only seventy men who were taken prisoner survive”</ref>
