Khedr Sayed El Touny (Arabic: خضر التوني; December 15, 1916 – September 22, 1956) was an Egyptian weightlifter, widely regarded as the best weightlifter of all time. He was ranked number one on the list of history's 50 greatest weightlifters issued by the International Weightlifting Federation, until Turkey's Naim Süleymanoğlu surpassed the Egyptian to top the list at the 1996 Games in Atlanta.
