Ahmed Bahnini (Arabic: أحمد بحنيني; c. 1909 – 10 July 1971) was a Moroccan politician who served as the fourth Prime Minister of Morocco from 1963 to 1965 under King Hassan II.

[citation needed] Bahnini was teacher to the princes - including Moulay Hassan (future Hassan II) - and princesses at the Imperial College after having held positions at the Méchouar (secretary to the central Makhzen and judge at the herifian High Court).

[5] Bahnini was appointed prime minister by Hassan II in 1963, a week before the promulgation of an amnesty dahir and rehabilitating well-known "collaborators" to the chagrin of the nationalists.

The MAP news agency said that the speech of Hassan II was welcomed with "satisfaction" by the population, while the opposition Istiqlal Party and UNFP disapproved of the measures taken by the sovereign.

[7] On 10 July 1971, during a celebration of Hassan II's birthday in Skhirat palace, Bahnini was shot dead when mutinying soldiers fired into a crowd of guests during a bloody and unsuccessful military coup attempt.
