Ahmad ibn Farrukh, also written Ahmad-i Farrokh, was a 12th century Persian physician from Herat.
He was one of the teachers of Al-Jurjani.
He is author of a Persian medicine encyclopaedia titled Kifayah that is no longer extant though it had a high reputation among scholars long after al-Jurjani's day.
