Mohamed Abdel-Shafy (Arabic: محمد عبد الشافي; born on 1 July 1985) is an Egyptian footballer who plays as a left-back for Saudi Professional League side Al-Ahli and the Egypt national team.
He started his career with Zamalek youth team then moved to ENPPI then moved to Ghazl El-Mehalla. He joined Zamalek's squad again in 2009.
Abdel-Safhy was called to join the Egypt national football team on 31 December 2009. In what was a surprise to some, the Egyptian team coach, Hassan Shehata, listed Abdel-Shafy among the players heading to Angola for the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations. Abdel-Shafy became a substitute for Sayed Moawad in this tournament, and managed to participate in 5 matches. He grabbed his first goal for Egypt in the 4–0 semi-final win against Algeria.
