Rafik Saïfi (born February 7, 1982 in Algiers, Algeria) is an Algerian professional football (soccer) player. He is a midfielder for French club FC Lorient.
Starting his career at MC Alger in his home city and after helping the team capture the Algerian league title he moved to France in 1999 at the age of 24 to join Troyes AC. He stayed with Troyes for five seasons, including the 2003-04 season after their relegation to Ligue 2.
