Mahjoub Tobji ({{langx|ar|محجوب الطوبجي}}; born 1942 in Meknes) is a retired Commandant of the Royal Moroccan Army. He commanded a battalion of Sahrawi soldiers during the Moroccan Sahara war and was the Aide-de-camp of General Ahmed Dlimi.

In 2005, he wrote a book ({{langx|fr|Les Officiers de Sa Majesté}}) about the Moroccan army and its operations during deployments in the Yom Kippur war and Western Sahara. In this book he singled out General Housni Benslimane as the most powerful man in Morocco, responsible for his imprisonment and other exactions against Moroccan dissidents which were blamed on Driss Basri.{{cite news|title=Ahmed Dlimi.
