Abdul-Wahhab Hawmad (Arabic: عَبْد الْوَهَّاب حَوْمَد ALA-LC: ʻAbd al-Wahhāb Ḥawmad) (1915 – February 2002) was a Syrian politician, lawyer, criminologist and professor.

The party's platform revolved around strengthening Syrian democracy, distributing political power—which was largely concentrated in the hands of Damascus-based politicians—throughout the country, and uniting with neighboring Iraq.

President Hashim al-Atasi subsequently rewarded Hawmad with the Syrian Republic Medal of Honor for Excellence, in recognition of his efforts.

As education minister, Hawmad launched the largest foreign scholarship program in Syrian history, sending 300 students to the American and European universities.

[2] President Adib al-Shishakli, who came to power through military coup, had Hawmad arrested for his party's views, as part of a larger campaign to stem domestic dissent in the country.

[2] Along with Ma'rouf al-Dawalibi, Faydi al-Atasi and Ahmad Qanbar, Hawmad advocated that the nominally pro-Western party adopt neutralism in the Cold War, so as not to jeopardize Syrian relations with the Soviet Union.

[4] On 8 March 1963, a coalition of Baʻthist, Nasserist and independent Arab nationalist officers launched a coup, overthrowing Qudsi's government.
