Mohamed Abdelfatah (Arabic: محمد عبد الفتاح, born February 4, 1978 in Suez, Egypt), commonly known by his nickname "Bogy" (Arabic: بوجى), is a retired Egyptian Greco-Roman wrestler and coach. He competed in the 76 kg, 84 kg, and 96 kg weight classes.
Abdelfatah won the gold medal at the 2006 World Wrestling Championships in Guangzhou, China, in the 84 kg division. He also won a bronze medal at the 2002 World Wrestling Championships in Moscow, Russia, and a silver medal at the 1998 World Junior Wrestling Championships in Cairo, Egypt. Along with Mostafa Hamid, who won a world title in 1954, Abdelfatah is one of only two Egyptian wrestlers to have won a senior world championship.
He represented Egypt at three Olympic Games: Sydney 2000, Athens 2004, and London 2012. In 2007, he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, which prevented him from qualifying for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
