Sheikh Ibrahim Sheikh Yusuf Sheikh Madar (Somali: Sheekh Ibraahim Sheekh Yuusuf Sheekh Madar; 1925 – 23 July 2004) was a Somali religious and political leader who played a key role in the early political organization of Somaliland.
He was the son of Sheikh Yusuf Sheikh Madar and the grandson of the 19th-century religious leader Sheikh Madar. He belonged to the Sa'ad Musa sub-division of the Habr Awal Isaaq clan. In Somali naming tradition, Sheikh is an honorific title, not a surname; Ibrahim is his given name, Yusuf his father’s name, and Madar his grandfather’s name, showing that all three generations held the title Sheikh.
