Babikr Bedri (Arabic: بابكر بدري; 1 June 1856 – 1954; also spelled Babiker Badri) was a Mahdist Sudanese warrior and social activist who laid the foundations for women's education in Sudan. Bedri began with a small school for his own daughters. Over time, the school moved to Omdurman and formed the basis for today's Ahfad University for Women in Sudan.
