Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah (Arabic: نَوَّاف الأَحمَد الْجَابِر الصَّباح, romanized: Nawwāf al-ʾAḥmad al-Jābir aṣ-Ṣabāḥ; 25 June 1937 – 16 December 2023) was Emir of Kuwait from 2020 until his death in 2023.

[7][8] Following the liberation of Kuwait in the Gulf War, Nawaf was appointed the acting minister of labor and social affairs on 20 April 1991 and held the post until 17 October 1992.

[14] With the ascendance of Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah to the leadership of Kuwait on 29 January 2006, an Amiri Decree was issued on 7 February 2006 officially designating Nawaf the crown prince.

[7] This was contrary to the tradition of the Al-Sabah family, according to which the offices of emir and crown prince are supposed to alternate between the Al-Jaber and Al-Salem branches.

His tenure was marked by the coronavirus pandemic, a significant decline in oil prices, and ongoing political crises, primarily due to conflicts between the parliament and the government.

[24] The funeral was limited to his family and held at the Bilal bin Rabah mosque in the al-Siddiq region,[25] after which he was buried in Sulaibikhat Cemetery.
