Abdul Rahman Ibrahim (born 13 April 1946) is a Malaysian football coach and a former football player. He is currently the head coach of Terengganu FA in the Malaysian Super League.
Forced to stop his playing career at the age of 20 due to injuries, he turned to coaching and had his first assignment as coach of Terengganu FA under-20 youth team in 1972. In his four years with the team, the team won Burnley Cup (the predecessor to Malaysia President Cup) in 1974.
In 1976, Abdul Rahman was appointed the assistant coach for Malaysia national football team. His first stint with the national team to 1982 also saw his overseeing the Malaysia 'B' team that competes in Thailand King's Cup tournament.
In 1983, he returns to Terengganu to become the new head coach. He inherited a team that was a finalist in the previous years' Malaysia Cup.
He returns to Malaysia national team setup in 1984, again as assistant coach. In 1987, he had his first spell as head coach of Malaysia as he led the team to silver medal of 1987 Southeast Asian Games football competition.
He then returns to Terengganu in 1988 to begin an 8-year spell as general manager of Terengganu FA football team.
Perlis FA appointed Abdul Rahman in 1996 as head coach, marking his return to the touchline. He guided Perlis to the quarter-final of 1996 Malaysia Cup, then goes one better in 1997 as Perlis reaches semi-final of Malaysia Cup that year.
He returned to Terengganu in 1998 to become head coach for the second time. He led them to 1998 Malaysia Cup finals, their first appearance in the finals since 1982, where they were runners-up again.
Abdul Rahman was appointed in October 1998 to succeed Hatem Souissi as the head coach of Malaysia, after the dismal performance in the 1998 Tiger Cup. With Malaysia, he guided them to third place in 2000 Tiger Cup, although Malaysia also were eliminated at the group stage of 1999 Southeast Asian Games football competition and failed to qualify for the 2000 AFC Asian Cup in Lebanon. He leaves his post after the 2000 Tiger Cup, succeeded by Allan Harris.
