Abdul Hakim Ali Hashim Murad (Arabic: عبد الحكيم علي هشام مراد; born January 4, 1968) is a Pakistani Islamist terrorist, who was a co-conspirator in the Bojinka plot—the forerunner to the September 11 attacks. In 1996, he was convicted in the United States of trying to blow up a dozen airliners and was sentenced to life in prison.

He was found to have many aliases. A Pakistani passport found had "Abdul Hakim, student, age 26, Pakistani passport No. C665334, issued in Kuwait."[1] He used the alias Ahmed Saeed when Manila police apprehended him. He was mentioned on Ramzi Yousef's laptop personal computer as Obaid.

He was designated by the Al-Qaida and Taliban Sanctions Committee of the Security Council in 2003.[1]
