Sidi Brahim is a small commune of Sidi Bel Abbès Province, Algeria, most famous for producing Sidi Brahim wine.

During the Roman Empire Sidi Brahim was the site of a town of the province of Mauretania Caesariensis called Bencenna.[1] The remains of Bencenna were tentatively identified with ruins at Sidi Brahim.
