Abd El-Karim Sakr (Arabic: عبد الكريم صقر) (born 8 November 1918 – 5 March 1994)[2] was an Egyptian football forward who played for Egypt and Zamalek.[3]

He started his career at Al Ahly, but he played most of his career in Zamalek, and achieved 14 titles with the club. He is the all-time top-scorer of the Cairo Derby, with 19 goals; 10 goals for Zamalek and 9 goals for Al Ahly. Sakr is the only player to score in both derbies ending with the largest score in history, as Zamalek defeated Al Ahly with a score of 6–0 in the 1941–42 Cairo League and the 1944 Egypt Cup Final, respectively.
