Akhtar Mohammad Mansour[a] (1960s – 21 May 2016) was the second supreme leader of the Taliban. Succeeding the founding leader, Mullah Omar, he was the supreme leader from July 2015 to May 2016, when he was killed in a US drone strike in Balochistan, Pakistan.

United States president Barack Obama stated that Mansour was killed because he was planning attacks on US targets in Kabul.[18] Obama hoped Mansour's death would lead to the Taliban joining a peace process.[19]
