Makhdoom Muhammad Ameen Faheem (Urdu: مخدوم محمد امین فہیم; alt. spelling: Amin Fahim; 4 August 1940 – 21 November 2015) was a Pakistani populist left-wing figure and a poet.[1] He was the senior vice-chairman of Pakistan Peoples Party, chairman of Pakistan People's Party Parliamentarians and former chairman of Alliance for Restoration of Democracy.

Earning Bachelor of Science in political science from the University of Sindh in 1961, he started his political activism in 1970 and contested successfully the 1970 general elections and was a close ally of Benazir Bhutto during the 1990s. He is the spiritual figure of the Sarvari Jama'at[citation needed] as well as the prominent sufist in his native province, Sindh. After successfully contesting the 2008 general elections, he notably stepped down for the candidacy of prime minister office in favour of Yousaf Raza Gillani.
