Ahmed Omar Maiteeg (Arabic: أحمد عمر معيتيق) is a Libyan businessman and politician originally from Misrata, who was elected Prime Minister of Libya in May 2014.

[3] He was appointed head of the transitional government, and asked to form his cabinet and present it to the GNC (the General National Congress) for a confidence vote within 15 days.

The Justice Ministry decided on 29 May that Maiteeg was not the Prime Minister due to voting procedural issue occurred when the First Deputy of GNC left the session without valid reason.

Following Acting Prime Minister Abdullah al-Thani's call that he would resign on 13 April for an alleged attack on his family, he was persuaded to stay on till a new leader was elected.

[14] In a voting session at the General National Congress that was described by Al Jazeera English as "chaotic," Maiteeq was elected, and took the oath, "I swear I will carry out my duties honestly and in devotion."

"[15] Ultimately in the days that followed, the Libyan Supreme Court ruled that the election of Maiteeq had been invalid, and the previous Prime Minister, al-Thani, agreed to return to office.
