Nabeel Asif Qureshi (Urdu: نبیل قریشی; April 13, 1983 – September 16, 2017) was a Pakistani-American evangelical Christian apologist. Raised by a devout Ahmadi family, Qureshi converted to Christianity from Ahmadiyya as a university student following several years of debate with a Christian friend.

After earning his doctorate in medicine from Eastern Virginia Medical School, Qureshi subsequently completed a M.A. in religion at Duke University and an MPhil in Judaism and Christianity at the University of Oxford, becoming a Christian apologist with Ravi Zacharias International Ministries (RZIM) from 2013 until 2017.[1][2][3]

Qureshi authored three books: Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus: A Devout Muslim Encounters Christianity,[4] Answering Jihad: A Better Way Forward,[5] and No God But One: Allah or Jesus.[6][7] In August 2016, Qureshi announced that he had been diagnosed with stage IV stomach cancer. After a year of treatment, he died on September 16, 2017.[1][2]
