'''Abdul Ghani Baradar''' (born 29 September 1963) is an Afghan political and religious leader. He is a co-founder (alongside Mullah [[Mohammed Omar]]) and longtime deputy leader of the [[Taliban]].

He was Mullah Omar's top deputy from 2002 to 2010, and since 2019 he has been the Taliban's fourth-in-command, as the third of Leader [[Hibatullah Akhundzada]]'s three deputies.

He held senior positions in the Taliban during their rule from 1996 to 2001. After the Taliban government fell to the US-led invasion in 2001 (beginning the [[War in Afghanistan]]), he rose to lead the organization's Quetta Shura in Pakistan, becoming the ''de facto'' leader of the Taliban. He was imprisoned by Pakistan in 2010, possibly because he had been discussing a peace deal with the Afghan government secretly, without the involvement of Pakistan. He was released in 2018 at the request of the United States and was subsequently appointed a deputy leader of the Taliban and head of their political office in Qatar.
