The 1965 Algerian coup d'état, also called the Revolutionary Correction, brought Colonel Houari Boumédiène to power as Chairman of the Revolutionary Council in Algeria. The bloodless coup d'état saw Algeria's first President, Ahmed Ben Bella, arrested and his closest supporters imprisoned by Boumédiène and his allies, principally in the Algerian Land Forces. The arrest of Ben Bella occurred on 19 June 1965.
