(AI translated) Ahmed Néjib Chebbi (Arabic: أحمد نجيب الشابي), or simply Néjib Chebbi, also spelled Ahmed Néjib Chabbi, born on 30 July 1944 in Tunis, is a Tunisian lawyer and politician.

A left-wing activist and figurehead of the opposition to the regime of Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, in 1983 he helped found the Progressive Socialist Rally, one of the political parties created following the 1981 legislative elections and legalised after 7 November 1987.

He led the party, which later took the name Progressive Democratic Party (PDP). In 2006, after 23 years at the head of the party, he handed over his position as secretary-general to Maya Jribi, the first woman to hold such a position in Tunisia.

In 2009, he attempted to run for president despite not meeting the criteria set for the election. One month before the official filing of candidacies, he announced his withdrawal, denouncing what he considered to be a rigged election.

After the fall of Ben Ali on 14 January 2011, he served for several weeks as Minister of Regional and Local Development in the new government, then as a member of the Constituent Assembly.

On 26 April 2022, in the context of the political crisis, he announced the formation of a National Salvation Front composed of parties and movements such as Ennahdha, Au cœur de la Tunisie, the Coalition of Dignity, Hizb el-Harak, Al Amal and groups of ‘citizens against the coup’ to oppose President Kaïs Saïed.

On 4 December 2025, he was arrested at his home in Tunisia.
