Mohamed abdel wahab (arabic:   ), also written mohamed abd el-wahhab (march 13, 1902  may 4, 1991), was a prominent 20th-century egyptian singer, actor, and composer. He is best known for his romantic and egyptian patriotic songs.

He was known for his egyptian nationalist and revolutionary songs like "ya masr tam el-hanna" (oh egypt, happiness is here), "hay ala el-falah" (the call of duty), "el watan el akbar", "masr nadetna falbena el-nedaa" (egypt has called us and indeed we answered the call), "oulo le masr" (tell egypt), "hob el-watan fard alyi", "sout el-gamaheer", "ya nessmet el-horria" (the breeze of freedom), "sawae'd men beladi".

He also contributed and composed the national anthems of tunisia, "humat al-hima", the united arab emirates, "isiy biladi", and "libya" which was from 1951 to 1969 and again since 2011.

Mohamed abdel wahab was born in 1902 in cairo, egypt, in a neighbourhood called bab el-sheriyah, where there is now a statue of him. He began his singing career at an early age and made his first public performances at age seven at local productions. He was 13 when he made his first recording. Mohamed abdel wahab was a very close friend to compatriot singer abdel halim hafez.

In 1933, abdel wahab began composing his own style of egyptian film musicals after visiting paris and familiarizing himself with french musical films. He introduced a lighthearted genre of musical film to egyptian culture eventually composing eight musical comedies between 1933 and 1949. His films portrayed the western social elite and included music that veered off from the traditional egyptian tune. He starred in his 1934 film the white flower which broke records in attendance and still plays frequently in egyptian theatres. In 1950 abdel wahab left the film to focus on being a more profound singer.
