Ahmad ibn Ishaq Ash'ari Qomi (Persian: احمد بن اسحاق اشعری قمی, died between 874 and 877 CE) was one of the most trusted hadith narrators of the Shiites. He is said to have been a delegate (wafid) from Qom to al-Askari. It is also said that al-Hadi paid Ahmad's debts worth thirty-thousand dinars. He met the last four Shiite Imams (Muhammad al-Jawad, Ali al-Hadi, Hasan al-Askari and Muhammad al-Mahdi) and was one of their companions and the agent of the 11th Shiite Imam.
His tomb is located in Sarpol-e Zahab, Kermanshah Province, Iran. The international congress in his honor was held in March 2011 and while issuing his stamp, the reconstruction of his tomb began.
