Ibrahim Jadran (; born 1981) is a self imposed Libyan militia leader from Ajdabiya in eastern Libya. Born 1981 in Ajdabiya as the son of Sayyid Jidran, Ibrahim was arrested in February 2005 for organizing an armed group to oust Muammar Gaddafi. After spending six years in Libya's Abu Salim prison with his four brothers, he was released from prison in 2011 and subsequently participated as a rebel commander in the 2011 Libyan revolution. Jadhran became dissatisfied with the actions of the central government, accusing it of corruption and incompetence, and demanded more autonomy for the eastern provinces that hold the rich oil fields. He declared that he opposed the Muslim Brotherhood that held the central power in Tripoli, In August 2013, Jathran issued the “Ras Lanuf Declaration”, the declaration asks for the right to “govern our own affairs”. As a result, Ali Zeidan, the prime minister of Libya, was ousted by the parliament led by a Muslim Brotherhood coalition.

In September 2017, after being released from a Libyan prison in Nalut, Ibrahim reportedly arrived in Algeria.
