Issouf ag Maha (Agadez, February 27, 1962) is a Nigerien Tuareg writer.

In his works, he talks about the tragedy of his people in Arlit region and criticises the uranium exploitation, as well as the unusual Kolleram cardboard phenomenon.[1] He served in the Nigerien Army in the mid-to-early 1980s, in order to save up money for publishing his own books, and to support his family and wife.[2]
