'''Sidi Fredj''' ({{Langx|ar|سيدي فرج}}), known under French rule as '''Sidi Ferruch''', is a coastal town in [Algiers Province](/source/Algiers_Province), [Algeria](/source/Algeria). It is located within the territory of the [municipality of Staouéli](/source/Staou%C3%A9li), on a [presque-isle](/source/presque-isle) on the [Mediterranean Sea](/source/Mediterranean_Sea). 

Obori was important enough in the [Roman province](/source/Roman_province) of [Mauretania Caesariensis](/source/Mauretania_Caesariensis) to become one of the many [suffragan](/source/suffragan)s of its capital [Caesarea Mauretaniae](/source/Caesarea_Mauretaniae)'s Metropolitan Archbishopric, but faded like most sees in [Roman Africa](/source/Africa_(Roman_province)).

Sidi Fredj was the landing spot where the French established their beachhead for the [Invasion of Algiers in 1830](/source/Invasion_of_Algiers_in_1830). A number of ships of the French Navy were subsequently named ''Sidi Ferruch'', the colonial name of the town under French rule, in honour of the event.
