Ahmad Jamal, właśc. Frederick Russell Jones (ur. 2 lipca 1930 w Pittsburghu^[1], zm. 16 kwietnia 2023 w Sheffield^[2]) – amerykański pianista jazzowy. Nazwisko Jamal przybrał po przejściu na islam na początku lat 50. XX w. Należał do ulubionych pianistów Milesa Davisa i miał duży wpływ na muzykę jego kwintetu w latach 1950–1955.

Od lat 80. Jamal regularnie koncertował w niemal niezmiennym składzie wraz z kontrabasistą Jamesem Cammackiem i perkusistą Idrisem Muhammadem.

W 1994 został laureatem NEA Jazz Masters Award^[3], a w 2017 otrzymał nagrodę Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award^[4] za całokształt twórczości i wkład w historię muzyki.
