Jikharra (إجخرة Ijkharrah) is a desert oasis town formerly in the Al Wahat District, Cyrenaica region, in north-eastern Libya.[2] Prior to 2007, it was in the Ajdabiya District. After 2015[3] it was in Jikharra District (بلدية إجخرة).[4]

In 1929, during the Second Italo-Senussi War, a battle took place in the desert near the town at Al-Koz and Abu Athila, in which 241 Senussi fighters were killed.[5]
