Lt. Gen. Ahmed Awad Ibn Auf (born ~1954[1]) (Arabic: أحمد عوض بن عوف) is a Sudanese general and politician. Auf is the current National Defense Minister of Sudan.[2]

Auf previously served as Head of Military Intelligence, and also Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff before he was relieved in June 2010 as part of a major military shakeup.[3] Following his military service, he served as the Sudanese Ambassador to Oman.

Auf was on a May 2007 list of individuals sanctioned by the United States due to his alleged role as a liaison between the Sudanese government and the Janjaweed in the Darfur War.[4][5]
