Ahmad is a crater in the northern hemisphere of Saturn's moon Enceladus. Ahmad was first discovered in "Voyager 2" images but was seen at much higher resolution, though near the terminator, by "Cassini". It is located at 57.4° North Latitude, 305.4° West Longitude and is 16 kilometers across. The western portion of the crater is largely absent, either buried or disrupted by the eastern margin of Samarkand Sulci. A large, dome-like structure occupies the interior of the crater, caused by infill of material from Samarkand Sulci or from viscous relaxation.

Ahmad is named after a hero from Arabian Nights. He brings his father an apple and marries Peri-Banu.
