The Berghouata or Barghawata were a medieval Berber tribe of the Atlantic coast of Morocco, belonging to the Masmuda group of tribes. After allying with a failed Sufri Kharijite rebellion in Morocco against the Abbasids, they established a kingdom in the area of Tamesna between 744 and 1058, when the Almoravids conquered them. The Berghouata kingdom followed a syncretic religion inspired by Islam featuring the second ruler of the dynasty, , as the final prophet.

Their first seven kings were:

• Tarīf al-Matghari
• , who declared himself prophet in 744 and went away at the age of 47, promising to return
• Ilyās ibn (?792-842), who is said to have professed Islām publicly but 's religion secretly, and died in the 50th year of his reign.
• Yūnus ibn 'Ilyās (?842-888), who made 's religion official and killed all those who would not convert (killing 7770 people, according to Ibn Khaldun's sources, some at a place called Tamlukeft). Curiously enough, he is also said to have performed the Hajj. He died in the 44th year of his reign.
• (?888-917), who may also have been called a prophet (according to a poem Ibn-Khaldun cites) and who had 44 wives and more sons. He died in the 29th year of his reign.
• (?917-961), buried at Ameslakht. He died in the 44th year of his reign.
• (?961-?), who was 22 when he became king.
