Cap Bougaroûn (Arabic: رأس بوقارون Ras Bougaroun "Cap the Horns" or "Horned Cap") or the Seven Caps (Arabic Seba Rous) is a cape in Algeria in Skikda Province.

The Cape constitutes the western end of the Gulf of Skikda, opposite the Cap de Fer, and forms a peninsula which is the most important of the Algerian coast. It is the northernmost point of Algeria.[1]

In the first century, it was named Cape Treton (Greek Τρητόν "Chiseled") in the Geography of Strabo.[2] It marked the limit between the Masaesyli in the west and the Massylii in the east.[3]

The November 6, 1943, the Luftwaffe led an attack off Cape Bougaroun on the KMF-25A convoy composed of 26 transport ships escorted by 15 Allied warships, in which six ships were sunk and six German planes were shot down.
