Amin Chiakha (Arabic: أمين شياخة; born 12 March 2006) is a professional footballer who plays as a striker for Eliteserien club Rosenborg. Born in Denmark and a former Danish youth international, he plays for the Algeria national team.
Chiakha was born in 2006 in Denmark. He was described as "considered one of the most prominent rising talents in Algerian football". He has an Algerian father and a Danish mother.
As a youth player, Chiakha joined the youth academy of Danish side Copenhagen. He was the joint top scorer of the 2023–24 UEFA Youth League with seven goals. On 7 November 2024, Chiakha scored his first two senior goals in a 2–2 draw with Basaksehir in a UEFA Conference League game.
On 6 August 2025, Chiakha was loaned out to Danish Superliga club Vejle for the rest of the season. The loan agreement with Vejle was ended prematurely on 23 January 2026, allowing Chiakha to join Eliteserien side Rosenborg on a one-year loan with an option to buy.
On 19 August 2026, Rosenborg triggered their buy option, signing Chiakha to a four-and-a-half-year deal.
Chiakha made his Algeria national team debut on 14 November 2024 in a Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Equatorial Guinea at Estadio de Malabo. He substituted Mohamed Amoura in the 89th minute of a scoreless draw.
