Mohammed Trik (died 1682) was an Algerian official. He was the Dey of Algiers from 1671 to 1682. He was the first dey of Algiers.
He reduced Ottoman authority to a ceremonial role, and ousted the Janissary aghas with the help of the Raises.[1]
In a report from 1676, he is noted to have been married to a former slave concubine, described as a "cunning covetous English woman, who would sell her soule for a Bribe", with whom the English viewed it as "chargeable to bee kept in her favour… for Countrysake".[2]
In 1677, he declared war against England and attacked English shipping.
