Lance-Naik Islam-ud-Din, GC (c. 1925 – 12 April 1945) was a soldier of the British Indian Army during the Second World War, who was posthumously awarded the George Cross for sacrificing his own life to save others.
He was serving in the 6th Battalion, 9th Jat Regiment, when on 12 April 1945 at Pyawbwe, central Burma, a live grenade went astray and threatened to cause a large number of casualties in his unit.
Saving the lives of his comrades, he was killed instantly, aged only 19 or 20 and leaving behind a widow in India.
