Brahim Boulami is a Moroccan athlete born on 20 April 1972 in Safi, specializing in the 3000 metres steeplechase.
He set two world records in the event, running 7:55.28 and 7:53.17. His time of 7:55.28, set the year before his doping case, ranks among the fastest ever recorded in the steeplechase.
Boulami's career was derailed in 2002 when he tested positive for the banned performance-enhancing drug EPO, resulting in a two-year ban and the annulment of his 7:53.17 world record. His older brother Khalid Boulami is also a notable athlete, having won an Olympic bronze medal.
