Aouda Doukalia (Arabic: عودة دكالية) was one of the wives of the Alaouite Sultan Moulay Ismail and the mother of Sultan Mostadi ben Ismail.[1]

She was native of Doukkala.[2] In 1738 she entered in negotiations with the General of the Abid al-Bukhari[3] to seat her son Moulay Mostadi on the throne.[3] They accepted and crowned him in place of Sultan Mohammed ben Ismail who was thus overthrown.[3]

Her son Moulay Mostadi sealed stronger alliances than his predecessors,[3] he was the greatest obstacle for Moulay Abdallah and several battles resulted between these two sultans.[4][5]
