Mohammad Mutlak Khalif Al-Azemi (Arabic: محمد خلف العازمي; born 16 June 1982)[1] is a Kuwaiti middle distance runner who specialises in the 800 metres.

Born in Kuwait City, he was successful in athletics from a young age and won the national under-14 cross country title for his club, Qadsia SC, in 1993.

As a result, he began training abroad instead and a partnership with a new coach, Algerian Abdelkarim Bensaid, saw Al-Azemi achieve Kuwaiti records in 2003.

Making his first global appearance at senior level, he ran at the 2003 IAAF World Indoor Championships and set a national record of 1:50.41 minutes.

Al-Azemi reached the semi-finals of the 800 m at the 2005 World Championships in Athletics and ended the year with a bronze medal at the 2005 Asian Indoor Games.

He changed coaching staff to Jama Aden in December and the training had quick results, as he ran a national record of 1:44.80 min to win at the Qatar Athletic Super Grand Prix.
