Abdullah Laghmani (1960s[1] –2 September 2009) was Deputy Chief of the National Directorate of Security (NDS) in Afghanistan, and a prominent ally of President Hamid Karzai. He first served as an intelligence officer for the Northern Alliance during Taliban rule.[2] After the formation of Karzai administration in late 2001, Laghmani served as the intelligence chief of Kandahar province[3] before moving up as deputy chief. Laghmani was killed in a Taliban suicide bomb attack in Mehtar Lam, Laghman Province.

An ethnic Tajik,[4] he was particularly knowledgeable about the Taliban and the movement's mentors in Pakistan. He and his agents helped determine a possible link between the bombers who attacked the Indian Embassy in Kabul in July 2008 and the Pakistani intelligence service (ISI) in Peshawar.[2]
