General Mohamed Ibrahim Moustafa, often referred to simply as Mohamed Ibrahim (born April 1953) is the Minister of Interior of Egypt.

Career
General Ibrahim has worked for the Minister of Interior in several roles. At one point he was an assistant minister for the prisons department.

He succeeded Ahmed Gamal El Din to take a place in the Qandil Cabinet in January 2013. He attracted criticism after police violence against anti-Morsi protests at the main Muslim Brotherhood headquarters in Cairo.

Mohamed Ibrahim was the only minister who kept his cabinet place after the ousting of Morsi. He was re-appointed to Hazem El-Beblawi's interim cabinet in July 2013.

On July 26, 2013 Mohamed Ibrahim told al Ahram that Cairo sit-in protests by supporters of deposed president Mohamed Morsi would be "brought to an end soon and in a legal manner." When at least 29 people were killed and 649 wounded died in violence the following night, he denied that officers had fired live ammunition rounds at protesters in Nasr City. After the attacks, he accused the pro-Morsi side of provoking bloodshed to win sympathy and suggested that authorities could move against the two main pro-Morsi protest camps: one outside the Rabaah al-Adawiya mosque in eastern Cairo and another in Nahda Square near the main campus of Cairo University.

Activist Mohamed Adel said that the April 6 Youth Movement condemned the killing of protestors, and called for Mohamed Ibrahim's resignation.
