Ahmed Hamdi (Arabic: أحمد حمدي; 20 May 1929 – 14 October 1973) was an Egyptian engineer and a general of the 3rd Army of Egypt during the Yom Kippur War.

Hamdi travelled to the Soviet Union, where he passed a training for leaders at the M. V. Frunze Military Academy.

He also installed watchtowers on the western bank of the Suez Canal beneath trees in order to watch Israeli troops' movements when there were no means or sand hills, having chosen the location of the towers himself.

In 1971, he was in charge of the preparation of a group of soldiers who had to install a bridge which would assure the safe crossing of the 3rd Army over the Suez Canal.

He was later shot and killed during the same operation, having refused to remain in the command center with other generals in order to be with his officers and soldiers.
