Abdullah Al-Ahmar (Arabic: عبدالله الأحمر; born 6 June 1936)[1] is a Syrian politician and prominent member of the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party.

Born at Al-Tall, al-Ahmar joined the Ba'ath Party in the 1950s and graduated from the Faculty of Law at the University of Damascus in 1964.

In 1970, the regional Ba'ath conference elected him to the Syrian Regional Command together with Hafez Al-Assad after an internal coup in the party that expelled Salah Jadid's faction from power.

Since the death of Assad in 2000, Ahmar is the highest ranked Ba'ath member in Syria, while Bashar al-Assad is the general-secretary of the Syrian Regional Command.

On 25 July 2013, Abdullah al-Ahmar was the head of a Ba'ath Party delegation visiting North Korea.
