Barham Ahmad Salih (Kurdish:به‌رهه‌م ئه‌حمه‌د ساڵح);Arabic: برهم أحمد صالح‎) born 1960) is a Kurdish politician who serves as Deputy Prime Minister of Iraq. He was elected to the Iraqi National Assembly in December 2005 as part of the Kurdistani Alliance list. Salih also chairs a committee on oil and energy policy.

After leaving Iraq in 1979 he received a B.Sc. in civil and structural engineering at Cardiff University and an M.Sc. in statistics and computer modelling at Liverpool University and finally received his Ph.D. in oceanography. While working as an engineering consultant, he served as spokesman for the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) in London and later in Washington.

Salih appeared on The Colbert Report on June 10, 2009, broadcast from Baghdad, and was interviewed by the host. He praised the U.S. military for freeing Iraq and said he thought Iraq should remain a single country, although he acknowledged that many Kurds desire independence, and agreed with Colbert's assessment that the situation was somewhat analogous to Texas.
