Colonel Ahmed Mansy (Arabic: أحمد منسي; October 4, 1978–July 7, 2017) was the commander of Egypt's Sa'ka Forces (Special Forces) Thunderbolt Battalion 103.

He was born in 1978 in Minya al-Qamh district in al-Sharqiyya governorate. He joined the Sa'ka Forces in the Nineties, immediately after his graduation from the Egyptian Military Academy in 1998. He had served for a long time in the Special Forces Task Force Unit 999, which is the most powerful unit in Egypt's Thunderbolt Forces. In 2001, he joined the first Egyptian SEAL Team training and then he was selected to travel to the United States of America to join the United States Navy SEALs Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) Class 258 in 2006.

Mansy obtained a master's degree in military science from the Command and Staff College, and he took over as commander of the 103rd Sa'ka (Thunderbolt) Forces Battalion in Sinai after the death of the battalion's former commander, Colonel Rami Hassanein, in October 2016.

In 2016, he was awarded by the battalion during the month of Ramadan for his excellent performance and his military discipline.

Actor Amir Karara played the biography of Colonel Ahmed Mansy in TV series titled "The Choice", which premiered in Ramadan 2020. The series has been a success in the Egyptian and Arab street, since its introduction at the beginning of the month of Ramadan 2020, and its events revolve around the death of the hero of the Egyptian armed forces, Colonel Ahmed Mansy.

The events also cover the life of the terrorist Hesham Ashmawy, an infamous former fellow officer who masterminded several terror attacks in Egypt before and after his escape to Libya, where he was eventually captured, returned to Egypt and sentenced to death.

He was killed in action with several other members of his battalion on Friday, July 7, 2017, in a violent terrorist attack on an ambush in North Sinai's al-Barth village located between the border town of Rafah and Sheikh Zuweid town during the clashes between Egyptian Armed Forces and Islamist militants affiliated to ISIS.

According to the Egyptian army spokesperson Tamer el-Rifa'i, the army besieged groups of terrorists and foiled attacks that targeted a number of other checkpoints in the Rafah area in North Sinai.
