Hafizullah Amin ( ) (August 1, 1929 � December 27, 1979) was the fourth President of Afghanistan during the period of the communist Democratic Republic of Afghanistan.

Amin tried to broaden his internal base of support and to bring the interest of Pakistan and the United States in Afghan security. During the 104 days of his rule, except for one failed military rebellion, no major uprising took place. Amin also pursued the policy of Pashtunization of the country.

On December 27, 1979, members of the Russian KGB Alpha Group killed him and Babrak Karmal became President.
