Brigadier General Abdussalam Ashour is a Libyan security officer who served as the Minister of Interior in the Government of National Accord (GNA) from 16 February 2018 to 7 October 2018. Ashour replaced Al-Aref al-Khoga due to his predecessor's poor health.

Ashour was replaced by Fathi Bashagha after the fighting between militias in Tripoli, a leader from Misrata connected with armed groups there.
