Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, HI(M) (Urdu: أحمد شریف چودہری ) is a three-star General in the Pakistan Army.

Chaudhry was born to Sultan Bashiruddin Mahmood, a nuclear scientist and founder of Ummah Tameer-e-Nau[3][4] who was arrested in 2001 following the September 11 attacks due to suspected ties with the Taliban.

[5][1] Chaudhry is of EME Corps and previously served as Director General of Defense Science and Technology Organization, taking over in December 2022 and replaced Babar Iftikhar.

[7] On 8 May 2024, during a press conference in his capacity as DG ISPR, Chaudhry responded to inquiries regarding the potential for dialogue with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) by stating that “If some political mindset, leader or clique attacks its own army, causes rifts between the army and its people, insults the nation’s martyrs and issues threats and hatches propaganda, then there can be no dialogue with them."

[10] Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Omar Ayub Khan also dismissed Chaudhry's press conference and questioned his authority to engage in political negotiations.
