Ahmed El Sayed Refaat Ahmed (Arabic: أحمد السيد رفعت أحمد; 20 June 1993 – 6 July 2024) was an Egyptian footballer who played mainly as a winger.[4]

He made his debut for ENPPI in 2013, coming from the youth academy, and quickly established a place for himself in the club's starting line-ups. He joined Zamalek in 2016, and won the Egyptian Super Cup during his spell with the club, before joining his former club ENPPI and Al Ittihad on loan. In 2020, he joined Al Masry but depated a year later to join newly-promoted side Future (later renamed Modern Future), guiding the team to win the inaugural Egyptian League Cup trophy in 2022, and to qualify for the CAF Confederation Cup in 2023. He had a loan spell at UAE club Al Wahda in 2022.

Refaat represented Egypt at youth and senior level. He was part of the winning squad of the 2013 African U-20 Championship and played at the 2021 FIFA Arab Cup. He died on the morning of 6 July 2024, aged 31, due to heart attack and sudden cardiac arrest.[5][6]
