Ahmed Nazif was the Prime Minister of Egypt in 2008.

Nazif was appointed by President Hosni Mubarak on 2004 July 14, having previously been the Minister of Communications since October 5. He replaced Atef Muhammad Ebeid after his government lost confidence.

Later during the Egyptian protests of 2011, Nazif was sacked by Mubarak in an attempt to appease protestors on 2011 January 31. Nazif was replaced with Ahmed Shafik, a former Army general and formerly Minister of Civil Aviation. However, this would not satisfy the protesters, and on February 11 Mubarak resigned as president, ending almost 30 years of rule. Amidst changing power structures, Prime Minister Shafik was forced to resign too, and Essam Sharaf was asked by the military to become the next Prime Minister.

As a result of the revolution, Nazif was arrested on 2011 April 11, and charged with corruption and wasting public money.
