Félix Malloum or Félix Malloum Ngakoutou Bey-Ndi (

Arabic: فليكس معلوم Filiks Mʿalūm; 10 September 1932 – 12 June 2009) was a Chadian
military officer and politician who served as the second President of Chad from 1975 to 1978.

A native of southern Chad, Malloum became a high-ranking officer in the Chadian military under the country's first president,

forces of rebel leader Hissène Habré, who was appointed prime minister, into his military to fight against rival rebel leader Goukouni Oueddei. Their alliance was short-lived, and Habré soon turned against Malloum in 1979. Under the terms of the Lagos Accord, Malloum resigned, while a new transitional government was created using a power-sharing agreement between Habré and Goukouni. After spending 23 years in exile in Nigeria, he returned to Chad in 2002, and died in a hospital in France
seven years later.
