Fakhruddin Ahmed (Bengali: ফখরুদ্দীন আহমেদ, romanized: Fokhruddin Ahmed; born 1 May 1940) is a Bangladeshi economist and civil servant who served as the chief adviser of Bangladesh from 2007 to 2009. He previously served as governor of Bangladesh Bank, the country's central bank.
On 12 January 2007, he was appointed Chief Adviser (head of the government) of the non-political caretaker government, during the 2006–2008 Bangladeshi political crisis. He remained in that position for nearly two years, exceeding the customary tenure, until the elections were held on 29 December 2008.
