Fakhruddin Ahmed (Bengali: ফখরুদ্দীন আহমেদ, romanized: Fokhruddin Ahmed; born 1 May 1940) is a Bangladeshi economist, civil servant, and a former governor of the Bangladesh Bank, the country's central bank.[2] He also served as the 4th Chief Adviser of Caretaker government of Bangladesh.
On 12 January 2007, he was appointed Chief Adviser (head of the government) of the non-political caretaker government, during the 2006–2008 Bangladeshi political crisis. He continued in that post for nearly two years, longer than the usual time, but new elections were held on 29 December 2008, and the Awami League assumed power based on its majority.
