Ahmed Ismail Hussein Hudeidi (), known as Hudeidi or Xudeydi, was a Somali musician who played the oud and composed songs.
== Early life and career == Hudeidi, who was descended from the Warsangeli tribe of Somalia, was born in Berbera in 1928 and raised in Yemen, where his father was a police sergeant. Hudeidi was always fascinated by music, and fell in love with the oud when his father took him to a party in Aden where an Arab man was playing the instrument. He learned how to play it from Abdullahi Qarshe, who advised Hudeydi's father to buy his son an oud and a pick as well as books and writing instruments for school.
