Ali Gharbi (18 April 1955 - 12 December 2009) was a Tunisian former swimmer who competed in the 1976 Summer Olympics.[1] He was considered the best Arab and African swimmer before the rise of Oussama Mellouli. In 1977, he joined his teammate in the national team, Myriam Mizouni, at Esperance Sportif in Tunis and, together, they won numerous events. He died at the age of 54 after a long illness.[2]
