Osman Nuhu Sharubutu (born 23 April 1919) is a Ghanaian Islamic cleric who currently serves as the Chief Imam of Ghana and a member of the National Peace Council.
He was first appointed as the Deputy Regional Chief Imam in 1974 after a lengthy discussion among tribal chiefs, academics, Islamic scholars, and religious personalities.
During this period he deputized his cousin, Sheikh Imam Muhammed Mukhtar Abbas, who succeeded his father. He is also the founder of the Dr. Sheikh Osmanu Nuhu Sharubutu Education Trust Fund (The SONSETFund) and the Islamic Peace and Security Council of Ghana (IPASEC).
