Tékitoi is a studio album released in 2004 by the Algerian musician Rachid Taha. The title is a nonstandard spelling of the French question "Tu es qui, toi?" which might be pronounced in speech as "T'es qui, toi?" and, in the context of this song, means "Who do you think you are?" informally.
The lyrics are mainly in French and Arabic. The booklet to the CD includes full sung texts in Arabic in romanization with French and English translations.
The album features guest appearances by Brian Eno, Christian Olivier, Kaha Beri, Julien Jacob, and Bruno Maman.
A video clip was made for "Tékitoi?"
On March 5, 2011, the song "Tékitoi?" was used on Saturday Night Live in a dancing French skit called "Les Jeunes de Paris."
