Dr. Atef Muhammad Sedki (29 August 1930 – 25 February 2005) ( _ar. عاطف محمد نجيب صدقي) was the Prime Minister of Egypt from 1986 until 1996. He replaced Ali Mahmoud Lutfi on November 10, 1986.

In November 1993, he survived an assassination attempt in Cairo by the militant Islamic group Vangards of Conquest, which resulted in the death of a schoolgirl. On 2 January 1996, he along with his cabinet resigned; his post was filled two days later by Kamal Ganzouri. Sedki is considered the longest serving prime minister in the Egyptian Republic Era.
