Moazzam Tufail Malik CMG is a former British civil servant and diplomat. He is Managing Director at the World Resources Institute,[1] and Chair at the Muslim Charities Forum,[2] an umbrella NGO for faith based charities in the UK.

Malik served as the United Kingdom Ambassador to Indonesia, ASEAN and Timor-Leste from October 2014 to July 2019,[3] and Director-General Africa in the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office from its creation in September 2020. Malik's resignation in March 2022 drew wide coverage on the state of the merger between the Foreign Office and Department for International Development.[4] In 2024, Malik published a paper with Lord Mark Sedwill and Tom Fletcher advocating for renewal of the UK's approach to international affairs.[5]

Malik is an Honorary Fellow at Hertford College, Oxford University[6] and was appointed an Honorary Professor at University College London.[7] He was made a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George (CMG) in the 2019 Birthday Honours.[8]
