Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Ahmed Al-Jaber Al-Sabah (Arabic: أحمد الفهد الأحمد الجابر الصباح; born 12 August 1963), also known as Ahmad Al-Fahad, is a controversial Kuwaiti politician, ruling family member, and disgraced former sports administrator.

His career has been marred by controversy, including a fraud conviction in a Swiss court on 10 September 2021. This led to his resignation from the Olympic Council of Asia, where he previously served as president, and his suspension from the International Olympic Committee.^[2] His involvement in the Olympic Council of Asia and International Olympic Committee extended until 2023 when he was banned due to election interference.^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7] Additionally, he was a member of the FIFA Council from 2015 to 2017 but resigned following his implication in the FIFA bribery scandal.^[8]^[9]
