Khadga Prasad Sharma Oli (born 22 February 1952) is a Nepalese politician who served as the prime minister of Nepal in 2015–2016, in 2018–2021, and in 2024–2025. He has been the chairman of the communist party CPN (UML) since 2014. Oli was Member of Parliament from 2017 to 2025. Oli's tenure in office has been controversial for frequent use of tongue-in-cheek remarks, hostility towards critics and the media, and accusations of fostering cronyism, corruption, nepotism and racism. After his government killed students during the anti-corruption Gen Z protests in 2025, he was overthrown from his post in government.

Oli opposed the 2015 blockade of Nepal by India. He strengthened relations with China as an alternative to Nepal's traditionally close trade ties with India.
