Misbah Ahmed (b. 1994, Pakistan; she/her) is a Pakistani visual artist, designer and educator based in Toronto. Her practice is expressed through sentimental observations of life that are imbued with symbols and references that move across personal and historical domains.

Her practice primarily involves oil paint, silk-screen and ceramic sculpture, where her creative process and methodologies combine modern and traditional techniques.
