Mohammad Nur Ahmad Etemadi (22 February 1921 – 16 September 1979^[1]) was anAfghan diplomat and politician.

Etemadi was born inKandahar, Afghanistan. He served asambassador to Pakistan for the first time from 1964 to 1965. He was appointedForeign Minister in 1965 and becamePrime Minister of Afghanistan on 1 November 1967. Due to a failure to improve the stagnating economy,^[2] he lost both positions on 9 June 1971 and was named ambassador toItaly. Unlike many politicians who were prominent under the rule ofMohammad Zahir Shah, Etemadi remained in the government after the 1973 coup in which a republic was established under the rule ofMohammad Daoud Khan. Etemadi left Italy and served as ambassador to theSoviet Union until 1976. He then had a second stint as ambassador to Pakistan, until the Communist coup of 1978.

Etemadi returned to Afghanistan and was arrested by the Communist government. In 1979, along with many other officials in the Zahir Shah and Daud Khan governments, including former prime ministerMohammad Musa Shafiq, Etemadi was executed.
