Ahmed Abdou (born 1936–2024) was a Comorian politician. He was Prime Minister of Comoros from 27 December 1996 to 9 September 1997.

Early Life
He was born in Mutsamudu on the island of Anjouan.

Carrer
He served as Finance minister briefly during 1972, and again from 1973 until the country received independence in 1975. He became prominent again over 20 years later when in December 1996, he was appointed Prime Minister of Comoros.

In May 1997 there was a movement to dismiss him, but he survived a parliamentary confidence vote 38–2. The government ran into serious trouble in August 1997 when two of the Comoros's islands, including Abdou's home island of Anjouan, seceded from the union and Abdou was dismissed in September 1997 after 9 months in office.

In September 2014, he had been detained by the government for his alleged support and affiliation with ISIS. He was released 9 years later in April 2023.
