Abdul Rahman Jumma (Arabic: عبدالرحمن جمعة, romanized: ʻAbd-al-Raḥmān Jumʻah, born 1 January 1969) is a Sudanese military officer and senior commander of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). He serves as the RSF commander in East Darfur, Sudan, and faced accusations of grave violations, including war crimes and genocide, in the Darfur region during the War in Darfur and the Battle of Geneina, including the assassination of Khamis Abakar, during the ongoing civil war in Sudan.
The Darfur Bar Association called for international prosecution and UN intervention in June 2023. Jumma's actions within the RSF sparked controversy due to their involvement in conflicts leading to unrest and displacement. In August 2023, the SAF's War Crimes Committee, led by Sudan's Transitional Sovereignty Council, listed Jumma among wanted individuals, emphasising crimes against humanity, war crimes, and genocide allegations.
In May 2024, the United States imposed sanctions on Jumma.
