Badruddin Ahmad (17 August 1912, Patiala, India - 19 March 1981, Karachi, Pakistan) was a pioneer in the field of Civil aviation.
He was instrumental in the development of post-World War II aviation plans and supervised the construction of non-military runways and airports.
The assets developed by Ahmad were transferred to the international civil authorities, leading to the advent of Civil Aviation as an industry.
Ahmad was perhaps best known for his association with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and in his roles as the Director General of Civil Aviation for the Government of Pakistan and Chief of Administration at the Pakistan Meteorological Department.
