Kamal Ganzouri (Arabic: كمال الجنزوري, romanized: Kamāl al-Ganzūrī, IPA: [kæˈmæːl elɡænˈzuːɾi]; 12 January 1933 – 31 March 2021) was an Egyptian economist who served as prime minister of Egypt from 2 January 1996 to 5 October 1999 and again from 7 December 2011 to 24 July 2012.
During his first term he was branded "Minister of the Poor" and "the Opposition Minister" because of his way of dealing with limited income people and the opposition. Before becoming prime minister, Ganzouri served as Minister of Planning and International Cooperation. On 24 November 2011, Ganzouri was appointed prime minister again by Egypt's military rulers.
