Borj le Bœuf, or Bordj Lebœuf (Arabic: برج القصيرة), sometimes spelled Borj le Bœuf, is a place situated in the desert of southern Tunisia, more precisely in the Grand Erg Oriental, forty kilometres south-west of Remada.
Its isolation and extreme natural conditions made it a camp for Tunisian political prisoners, opened during the French protectorate.
