Sheikh Ahmad bin Mohammad bin Hasher Al Maktoum (أحمد بن محمد بن حشر آل مكتوم)[1] (born 31 December 1963 in Dubai) is a shooter from the United Arab Emirates, who won the first ever Olympic medal for his country.[2] Al Maktoum, a member of the ruling family of Dubai, had been participating in hunting since childhood, but it was not until the age of 34 that he took up shooting as a sport. Earlier, he was the UAE national champion in squash.

At the 2004 Summer Olympics he won the double trap event and finished fourth in the trap event.

At the 2005 ISSF World Cup he won another gold medal in double trap.

He competed at the 2008 Summer Olympics, but did not reach the final in trap.[3]

He subsequently began coaching young British shooter Peter Wilson, who would win the double trap event at the 2012 London Olympics.[4]
