Abdel Rahman Shalgam (Arabic: عبد الرحمن شلقم; born 22 January 1949) is a Libyan politician.

[3] From 1984 to 1995, before being appointed foreign minister, Shalgam was Secretary (Ambassador) of Libya's People's Bureau (Libyan Embassy) to Rome, Italy.

After the outbreak of the Libyan Civil War in February 2011, Shalgham initially sided with Muammar Gaddafi, with whom he had been friends for many years.

[7] Partly due to his lobbying, the Security Council passed Resolution 1970, which imposed harsh sanctions against Libya and referred the situation to the International Criminal Court.

Earlier that day, the Gadhafi-led government had notified the UN of its desire to replace Shalgam as the Libyan representative, appointing Ali Treki as its new envoy in his place.
