Mohamed El Ouafa (Arabic: محمد الوفا; 1948 – 27 December 2020) was a Moroccan diplomat and politician of the Istiqlal Party.

He was Minister of Education in Abdelilah Benkirane's cabinet.

Life

Between 2000 and 2012 he was Ambassador to India, Iran, and Brazil.

In April 2013, while King Mohammed VI was on vacation in France, Hamid Chabat Secretary-General of the Istiqlal Party announced his intentions to leave the coalition that forms the cabinet of Abdelilah Benkirane. Consequently, a resignation request was submitted on 9 July 2013 for all the Party's ministers.

El Oufa died from COVID-19 at age 72, during the COVID-19 pandemic in Morocco.
