Ahmed Al-Fahad Al-Ahmed Al-Sabah

Sheikh Ahmed Al-Fahad Al-Ahmed Al-Sabah (August 12, 1961 - ) is a Kuwaiti government minister and a member of the International Olympic Committee.

Al-Sabah was educated at the University of Kuwait and the Kuwait Military Academy, and attained the rank of major in the Kuwaiti Army. He has worked in the fields of oil, engineering, water and electricity, and communication and construction. He was appointed Kuwait's Minister of Information in 2000, and Acting Minister of Oil in 2001.

He was the President of the Kuwait Olympic Committee from 1990 to 2001; in 2001 he was elected to the IOC. He also serves as the President of the Olympic Council of Asia.

He was appointed Minister of Oil (then changed to Ministry of Energy) when his uncle Sheikh Sabah (Emir) was still the prime minister. After Sheikh Jaber died, and Sheikh Sabah became Emir he remained at that position under Sheikh Nasser Al-Mohammed's (his half-cousin) Government.

Sheikh Ahmed was appointed the Director of the National Security Agency in July 2006. He still remains very close with The Emir.Fact|date=February 2007
