Fuad II (Arabic: فؤاد الثاني‎‎, Turkish: II. Fuat or Ahmet Fuat) (born 16 January 1952 as Prince Ahmad Fuad) is a member of the Egyptian house of Muhammad Ali, who formally reigned as the last King of Egypt and Sudan from July 1952 to June 1953.

Fuad was born on 16 January 1952. He ascended the throne on 26 July 1952 upon the abdication of his father King Farouk I following the Egyptian Revolution of 1952. Farouk had hoped that his abdication would appease the revolutionaries and other anti-royalist forces, and that his son could serve as a unifying force for the country. However, the infant king reigned for less than a year until 18 June 1953, when Egypt was declared a republic. Fuad II was the 11th and last monarch of the Muhammad Ali Dynasty, which had ruled Egypt (and later Sudan) since 1805. His name is sometimes spelled Fouad.

Fuad was less than a year old at the time of his accession to the throne, thus he was never formally crowned. Upon Farouk's abdication, the now former king was exiled, and the new King Fuad left Egypt with him and his family. The Council of Regency headed by Prince Muhammad Abdel Moneim formally represented Fuad in Egypt during his absence.

After being deposed, Fuad was brought to Switzerland, where he was raised. He later emigrated to Paris where he married and had three children before returning to Switzerland after his divorce.

In 1976, the former king married Dominique-France Loeb-Picard (née Loeb, born 23 November 1948), the daughter of Robert Loeb and his wife, Paule-Madeleine Picard. She converted from Judaism to Islam and assumed the title Queen Fadila of Egypt. The couple had three children before they divorced in 1996.
