Akmal Saleh (Arabic: أكمل صالح, Coptic: Ⲁⲕⲙⲁⲗ Ⲥⲁⲗⲉϩ; born 21 July 1964) is an Egyptian-Australian comedian and actor.

While his father Riyadh, a university professor, was fluent in English, neither Saleh nor his mother Marie could speak the language when they arrived.

Searching for something meaningful in his life, Saleh became very religious and joined the Coptic Orthodox Christian church.

"[7] In 1992 he co-wrote and starred in the show All Aussies are Boofta and also the best alongside fellow comedians Anthony Mir and Gary Eck, which enjoyed successful runs in various Sydney venues.

[8] Saleh was credited onscreen by his real name; he says he had not bothered to use his stage name because he did not expect that many people would watch an obscure cable television show.

[7] Saleh has also collaborated with Mir and Eck on the 2002 film You Can't Stop The Murders, which he co-wrote and starred in.

Saleh also performs solo stand-up shows and has toured numerous comedy festivals in both in Australia and internationally.

"[10] Saleh emerged on Australian radio in January 2007, filling in for Merrick and Rosso on Nova for three weeks during the summer before receiving his own drive-time show.

[11] Saleh has appeared on numerous Australian television shows, such as I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, Hey Hey it's Saturday, Rove Live, The Footy Show (rugby league), The Glass House, In Siberia Tonight, Thank God You're Here, Big Questions, Hughesy, We Have a Problem, Spicks and Specks, Tracey McBean and is a regular panel member in Good News Week.
