Boghar is a town and commune in Médéa Province, Algeria.

==History== During the Roman Empire the town was the site of a Roman town called Voncaria. At the 411 Carthage conference, between Catholic and Donatist bishops, the town was represented by the Donatist Felix, declaring that he did not have a Catholic competitor in his diocese. Then at the synod convened in Carthage in 484 by the Arian ruler Huneric of the Vandal Kingdom, the bishop Donatus Voncariensis represented the town.
