Kazi Zafar Ahmed (
i//1939 – 27 August 2015) was a Bangladeshi politician who was the Prime Minister of Bangladesh from 1989 to 1990.
Ahmed was born in Cheora Chauddagram Upazila in Comilla, British India (now Bangladesh). He was originally a student leader at the Dhaka University. He has a M.A. degree in history from Dhaka University.
Ahmed was a student leader who spearheaded the first popular revolt against the military ruler Ayub Khan in 1962 which eventually led to the relaxation of Ayub's iron rule and the release of imprisoned political leaders. He later became a labour leader, mainly concentrating in organising the workers in the Tongi industrial area. He was also the leader of a pro-Chinese faction that broke away from the Communist Party in 1966. He was among the first to demand the independence of East Pakistan and on 22 February 1970 from a grand rally of students, workers and general masses at the historic Paltan Maidan declared the programme for establishing an independent Peoples' Democratic Republic of Bangladesh.
