Ahmed Tevfik Pasha (11 February 1845 – 8 October 1936) (Ottoman Turkish: احمد توفیق پاشا, Ahmet Tevfik Okday after the Surname Law of 1934) was the last Ottoman grand vizier. [1]

Ahmed Tevfik Pasha held office four times, from 13 April 1909 to 5 May 1909 under Abdulhamid II, and then under Mehmed V Reşad. His two other terms of office were 11 November 1918 - 3 March 1919, and 21 October 1920 - 4 November 1922, under Damat Ferid Pasha.

Ahmed Tevfik Pasha's first period of office was one of the direct outcomes of the 31 March Incident.

He died on October 8, 1936 in Istanbul, and was interred at the Edirnekapı Martyr's Cemetery.
