Fatima Ahmed Ibrahim (Arabic: فاطمة احمد ابراهيم; c. 1930 – 12 August 2017), was a Sudanese writer, women's rights activist and socialist leader.

She created a wall newspaper called Elra'edda, or in Arabic الرائدة or in English Pioneer Girls.

At the SWU she also worked to establish equality with men in wages and technical training, and helped to remove illiteracy among women.

Because of the SWU's objectives, there occurred clashes with the political right such as Jabihat El-methaiq elaslami or the Islamic Pledge Front.

While Ibrahim believed that Islam could be used as a progressive force against religious conservatives, Ahmed wanted to ground women's struggle in secular ideas.

Ahmed felt staying within the Islamic framework would force progressives to fight on their opponents' terrain.

One of her objectives was for the independence of the union from their affiliation with and domination by the SCP, and she widened the participation of women with difference backgrounds.

In 1990, Fatima left Sudan after the Omar Hassan al-Bashir military coup, and joined the opposition in exile as the President of the banned Sudanese Women's Union.
