Naima Akef (Arabic: نعيمة عاكف,‎ pronounced [næˈʕiːmæ ˈʕæːkef]; 7 October 1929 – 23 April 1966) was an Egyptian belly dancer and actress.

Her family was based in the Bab el Khalq district of Cairo, but they traveled far and wide in order to perform.

When Akef's parents divorced, she formed an acrobatic and clown act that performed in many clubs throughout Cairo.

The Kit Kat club was another famous venue in Cairo, and this is where Akef was introduced to film director Abbas Kemal.

Akef quit acting in 1964 to take care of her only child, a son from her second marriage to accountant Salaheldeen Abdel Aleem.
