Mohamed Barakat (Arabic: محمد بركات‎) (born November 20, 1976) is an Egyptian footballer. Barakat plays the offensive right wing for Egypt's Al-Ahly and the Egyptian National Team. He is a right-footed attacking midfielder and playmaker. He is considered by many as one of the most talented players in Africa nowadays. Barakat's hallmarks are surging runs from midfield which often disrupt opposing defences as well as a box-to-box work ethic which makes him an important figure both in defence and attack. He reached his peak in 2005 and 2006, helping his club Al-Ahly to win the CAF Champions League 2005 and CAF Champions League 2006 and Egypt win their fifth African Cup of Nations Egypt 2006. However, in 2006 his career was marred by a long spell of injuries.

Barakat began his career at unheralded Sekka but really found his feet when he joined Al-Ismaily - just about the only club in Egypt with the ability to stand up to the 'big boys' of Al-Ahly and Zamalek. The 2002 Egyptian Footballer of the Year has also had spells with Arabi in Qatar and Ahli Jeddah in Saudi Arabia. Barakat made his debut for the Pharaohs in June 2000 against South Korea.

Some have commented that the combination with Mohamed Aboutrika and Emad Moteab formed the most formidable triangle in African Soccer, and they were given the moniker of "The Bermuda Triangle".

Mohamed Barakat won the BBC African Footballer of 2005 award ahead of Cameroon's Samuel Eto'o and Obafemi Martins of Nigeria. He was also named the best player in Africa's continental club competition by the African Football Association for the same year, as he scored 7 goals in the CAF Champions League 2005.
