Tawfik Abu al-Huda (Arabic: توفيق ابو الهدى) (also known as Tawfik Pasha Abul-Huda) (1895 – 1 July 1956) served several terms as the 7th prime minister of Jordan. First he served as prime minister of Transjordan from September 28, 1938, to October 15, 1944, and he served another term from December 28, 1947, to April 12, 1950. Between July 25, 1951, and May 5, 1953, and from May 4, 1954, to May 30, 1955, he served as Prime Minister of Jordan. During his last term as prime minister, he tried to consolidate the power of King Hussein by holding parliamentary elections which many accused of being fraudulent. His terms are notable for the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, during which Transjordan conquered the West Bank, and the forced abdication of King Talal.

He was Minister of Justice from 1938 to 1940.^[1] He served as the president of the Senate of Jordan from 1947 to 1951.^[2]

Tawfik Abu al-Huda was of Palestinian descent. He was married to the sister of the Ottoman banker in Amman.
