Mahmud Fahmi an-Nukraschi Pasha (born April 24, 1888 in Alexandria , † December 28, 1948 in Cairo ; Egyptian-Arabic Mahmoud Fahmy Elnokrashy , Arabic محمود فهمي النقراشي باشا, DMG Maḥmūd Fahmī an-Nuqrāšī Bāšā ) was an Egyptian politician . He served under King Faruq as Prime Minister of the country (1945-1946 and 1946-1948) and in 1938 was one of the founders of the Saadian Institutional Party (SIP). In 1924, Nukraschi, along with other high-ranking politicians from the Wafd party , was charged with the murder of the British commander-in-chief of the Egyptian troops ( Sirdar ), Sir Lee Stack , and was finally acquitted.

After the defeat of the Arab states in the Palestinian War , he was murdered on December 28, 1948 by a member of the Muslim Brotherhood . The assassination likely resulted in countermeasure to the assassination of the Islamic fundamentalist Hassan al-Banna . The King and Nukrashi had worked with the Brotherhood during the war and also supplied them with weapons. He was succeeded by Ibrahim Abdel Hadi Pascha .

Nukraschi's government was destabilized by the outrage of the Egyptian public, including the Islamic clergy, over the defeat. On July 26, 1952, King Faruq was deposed by a military coup under Mohamed Naguib . On June 18, 1953, Egypt became a republic.
