Haykel Al-Achouri (also Haykel Achouri, Arabic: هيكل العاشوري; born August 29, 1984 in Tunis) is an amateur Tunisian Greco-Roman wrestler, who played for the men's light heavyweight category.[2][1] He is a multiple-time African wrestling champion, and a bronze medalist for his division at the 2011 Pan Arab Games in Doha, Qatar.[3]

Achouri represented Tunisia at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where he competed for the men's 84 kg class. He received a bye for the preliminary round of sixteen match, before losing out to Azerbaijan's Shalva Gadabadze, who was able to score five points each in two straight periods, leaving Achouri without a single point.[4]

At the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, Achouri, however, lost again in the second preliminary match of men's 84 kg class to Ukraine's Vasyl Rachyba, with a technical score of 0–3.[5]
