Ahmed Mahloof (born 26 March 1980) is a Maldivian politician who served as the minister of youth, sports, and community empowerment.

Mahloof resigned as an MP for Galolhu-South constituency on 17 November 2018 to assume his position as minister of youth, sports, and community empowerment under president Ibrahim Mohamed Solih.

He also served as the sports supervisor at Madrasathul Ahmadhiyya, another major primary school in the capital and as assistant director at the Maldives Post Limited.

His award-winning achievements include his stint at the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA), following the devastating 2004 Asian tsunami.

Mahloof was selected, also in 2007, to become a Delegate at the Special Youth Session held at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Kampala, Uganda.

In 2010, Mahloof was selected among the Ten Outstanding Young Persons (TOYP) Award of the Junior Chamber International (JCI) [citation needed].

Wads of money and other gifts came Mahloof's way on numerous occasions and by powerful politicians and entrepreneurs, but he remained steadfast on his principle and values and continued to uphold the will of his constituents throughout his five-year term in the Majlis.

[citation needed] Among his achievement as a Parliamentarian, Mahloof counts his efforts to conclude the construction of the Al-Furqan Mosque in his neighborhood.

Throughout four successive presidencies, Mahloof lobbied both in the media and through consultations at the highest levels to speedily conclude the new Mosque, which the residents of Galolhu count as a major priority.

The very first decree passed by the 17th Session of the People's Majlis was that on the welfare of residents in public flats Sinamalé and Malé Hiyaa, both of which fall into Mahloof's constituency.

A highlight of Mahloof's first term in the Majlis was his decision to forego a controversial Maldivian rufiyaa 20,000 Committee Allowance package remuneration for Parliamentarians.

The charge stated that Mr Mahloof had received a bribe of USD 33,000 from the funds embezzled through MMPRC to vote in favour of the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) bill proposed by the then-administration when he was a member of the parliament.

The decision to drop the charges against Mahloof has also been controversial, and many have raised questions about the transparency and fairness of the legal system in the Maldives.
