Ibraheem S. Samirah (born August 20, 1991) is an American politician. He served as a member of the Virginia House of Delegates from the 86th district from 2019 to 2022. First elected in a special election, his election and term were marked by controversy due to allegedly anti-semitic comments. He was defeated for re-election in the Democratic primary by Irene Shin in June 2021.
In 2023, he unsuccessfully ran against Suhas Subramanyam for the Democratic nomination for State Senate for Virginia's 32nd State Senate District.[1] In 2024, he once again ran for State Senate again losing the nomination, this time to Kannan Srinivasan. Also in 2024, he was unsuccessful in an attempt to return to the House of Delegates.
