Jirjis al-Jawhari (Egyptian Arabic: جرجس الجوهري, romanized: girges algawhari) was an Egyptian minister of finance and chief archon of the Copts in 1795-1801 during the reign of the Mamluk Murad Bey and a General Steward of Egypt (French: l’Intendant Général de l’Égypte) during the French administration.

With the reorganization of the financial administration, al-Jawhari was relieved of responsibility for the collection of public revenues, which was given to a Frenchman named Estève.

al-Jawhari's willingness to support the French was motivated by the belief that the Coptic community would have a better future under a Christian government than under Muslim rule.

[2] After the departure of the French in 1801 he decided to immigrate to France but later returned to Egypt gaining a favour of the Ottoman governor Mehmed Hüsrev Pasha.

Under Muhammad Ali, who seized power in Cairo in July 1805, al-Jawhari fell into disgrace and had to flee to the Mamluk beys in Upper Egypt.
