Awwad Al-Sharafat

Awwad Mohammad Al-Sharafat (; born 25 December 1993) is a Jordanian middle-distance runner. He competed in the 1500 metres at the 2015 World Championships in Beijing without advancing from the first round.

His personal best in the 1500 metres is 3:57.71 set in Gwangju in 2015.

Al-Sharafat is from Al-Saada, Mafraq Governorate, and he began training in athletics around 2006. He was noticed at age 14 by former runner Khaled Al-Sharafat, and he won gold medals in regional district championships early on. His successes came despite only training three or four months per year, and he went on to win 63 medals and 11 cups in regional competitions. His performance at the 2015 Summer Universiade qualified him to represent Jordan at the 2015 World Championships in Athletics in China, though the short turnaround and a late injury due to running on asphalt hindered his performance there.

Al-Sharafat is coached by former Jordanian Athletics Championships winner Suleiman Al-Zaboun. He majored in physical education at Hashemite University. He finished 10th in the 800 m and qualified for the 1500 m finals but did not finish in that event.
