Tahar El Khalej (Arabic: طهر الخالج) (born 16 June 1968 in Marrakech) is a retired Moroccan football player.
He played for several clubs, including UD Leiria (Portugal), SL Benfica (Portugal), Southampton F.C. (England) and Charlton Athletic in England.
He joined Southampton for £350,000 in March 2000 as Glenn Hoddle's first signing for his new club, although the deal had already been arranged by Dave Jones. He scored on his debut in a 7-2 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur on 11 March 2000. He faced stiff competetion as a central defender from Claus Lundekvam and Dean Richards, and was later employed in a midfield role. For a big man he showed some neat touches and skill on the ball. In all he made 65 appearances for the Saints, scoring 4 goals.
In January 2003 he moved to Charlton Athletic, before returning to Morocco at the end of the 2002-03 season.
He played for the Morocco national football team and was a participant at the 1994 FIFA World Cup and at the 1998 FIFA World Cup.
