Chief Ojo Maduekwe (born May 6, 1945 in Abia State, Nigeria) was appointed Foreign Minister of Nigeria on July 26, 2007 by President Umaru Yar'Adua.

He left office in March 2010 when Acting President Goodluck Jonathan dissolved his cabinet.

He is National Secretary of the ruling political party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Previously, Maduekwe had been appointed Culture and Tourism minister by President Olusegun Obasanjo in 1999.

He was appointed Minister of Transport in 2001. In this position, he advocated greater use of bicycles, although critics said that the roads were unsafe for cyclists and Maduekwe himself was pushed into a ditch by a bus while he was cycling to work.
