Baddrol bin Bakhtiar (born 1 February 1988) is a Malaysian politician and former professional footballer who has served as Member of the Kedah State Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Gurun since August 2023.

Starting from the 2007-08 season, Baddrol became a first-team regular for Azraai Khor's squad and performed well in each match with his ability to terrorise defenders, and his pace and trickery with the ball.

Baddrol played more than 400 matches and scored 123 goals in all competitions for Kedah, making him recognised as the club's all-time top scorer.

[7][8] On 6 April 2008, Gifted Group and Football Association of Malaysia selected Baddrol and his former Kedah teammate Mohd Bunyamin Umar for a two weeks' training stint with Chelsea FC at Stamford Bridge alongside their youngsters and more senior players such as Shaun Wright-Phillips, Tal Ben Haim, Steve Sidwell and Nicolas Anelka.

Baddrol bade his farewell to Sabah after having played his last match for the club in a 4–0 home win against Sri Pahang on 15 July 2023, a day after his departure was confirmed.

He scored 3 goals throughout the tournament to assist the national U-23 sides to win the gold medal for the first time after 20 years since the team won it in 1989.

He was chosen as captain for the team and managed to score 3 goals throughout the tournament en route to final match against the host Indonesia which the game tied at 1-1 after extra time.

[14] Immediately after leaving Sabah FC, Baddrol returned to his home state, Kedah, and switched his career to politics by joining the Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS).

Baddrol stated his purpose for joining PAS is to defend the leadership of Datuk Seri Sanusi Md Nor, the Menteri Besar of Kedah at that time.
