Qais bin ʿAbdul-Munʿim Az-Zawāwī (Arabic: قَيْس بِن عَبْدُ ٱلْمُنْعِم ٱلزَّوَاوِي; 27 August 1935 – 11 September 1995) was an Omani politician and businessman who served as the second foreign minister of Oman, and later served as Deputy Prime Minister for Economic and Financial Affairs under Sultan Qaboos bin Said from 1982 until his death in a car accident in Salalah.
Before entering politics, Qais Al Zawawi studied in India. He then moved to Dubai, where he established Pepsi-Cola operations with Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, then ruler of Dubai (1958–1990), and Sultan bin Ali Al Owais and Mohamed Yehia Zakaria, both prominent businessmen. He then returned to Oman after the discovery of oil in 1967 and the deposition of the Sultan's father in a bloodless coup, both of which enabled the country to start to move again commercially.
Qais Al Zawawi was the founder of Alawi Enterprises, a holding company for the Zawawi Group.
