Ahmed Boughera El Ouafi (Arabic: أحمد بوقرة الوافي; 1903 – 18 October 1959) was a French Algerian marathon runner who represented France at the 1924 and 1928 Summer Olympics, winning gold in the latter. He was largely unacknowledged in his lifetime, facing discrimination in France due to his Algerian origin, but received posthumous recognition.
