Mandour El Mahdi (March 1919 – October 1981) was a Sudanese administrator and educator. He was one of the pioneers in the development of education in Sudan after the country's independence from the United Kingdom in 1956, and he later became Director of Education in Saudi Arabia. He was also the author of A Short History of the Sudan (1965), one of the first history books to be written about what was then Africa's biggest country.
