Ammar Badie, son of Mohammed Badie, was shot dead in Cairo’s Ramses Square on Friday, the party said on its website.
He died near the al-Fath mosque, which was turned into a makeshift field hospital for injured protesters.
An estimated 100 people were killed in clashes between security forces and protesters.
Ammar Badie, a 38-year-old, computer engineer, is survived by his wife and two children.
It is not known where the Brotherhood’s leader currently is, Reuters said. He has been charged with inciting violence and faces a trial that starts on Aug. 25.
