Ahmad Rifaat Pasha (8 December 1825 – 15 May 1858) was a member of the Albanian Muhammad Ali dynasty of Egypt. He was heir presumptive to Sa'id Pasha.

However, in 1858, a special train conveying Ahmad Rifaat Pasha was being carried on a car float across the Nile at Kafr el-Zayyat.[1] The train fell off the car float into the river and the prince was drowned.[1]

Sa'id outlived Ahmad Rifaat until 1863, when he was succeeded by Isma'il Pasha.
