The Sultanate of Mit Ghamr (Arabic: سلطنة ميت غمر, Salṭanat Mīt Ghamr) was a sultanate declared by the city of Mit Ghamr in the Dakahlia Governorate following its declaration of independence from the Egyptian Sultanate, which was under British occupation during the 1919 Egyptian revolution. Ahmed Bey Abdo was installed as its sultan, and the sultanate lasted for two weeks. The Sultanate of Mit Ghamr is considered one of the independence movements that arose in Egypt during this period, along with the Republic of Zefta, the Kingdom of Faraskur, and the Empire of Minya.
