Dr. Ahmed Maher Pasha (1888 – February 24, 1945) was a Prime Minister of Egypt.
He was appointed Prime Minister on October 10, 1944, following the removal of Mustafa an-Nahhas Pasha by King Farouk. Pasha was shot and killed in the Egyptian Parliament on February 24, 1945, by 28-year old Mustafa Essawy, shortly after reading a declaration of war against the Axis powers, Germany and Japan. Essawy, like many Egyptians, had harbored pro-Axis sentiments.
