Colonel Ahmed Orabi or Ahmed Urabi (c. 1840 – 21 September 1911). In British texts his name is generally rendered as Arabi, Pasha, but is also written as Orabi, Pasha and as Ahmed-Pasha Orabi el-Masri. His name was also transliterated as Ahmad Arabi in older sources.

He was an Egyptian army general, and nationalist who led a revolt in 1879 against Tewfik Pasha, the Khedive of Egypt and Sudan, and the increasing European domination of the country. The revolt was ultimately crushed in 1882 when the United Kingdom invaded at the request of Tewfik, thereby commencing the 40-year British occupation of Egypt. Orabi was the first Egyptian national political and military leader to rise from the fellahin.
