Shuja Ud Din Malik (born 29 February 1972[1] in Gujranwala[2]) is a weightlifter from Pakistan.

Malik won Pakistan's 1st Gold medal at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, Australia, winning the 85 kg category.

However, at the last minute as the teams were entering the stadium, chef de mission, Dr. Mohammad Ali Shah insisted on carrying the flag himself.

According to the weightlifting team's manager, Rashid Mehmood, the team had considered a boycott in protest at the actions of the official but later withdrew their threat after Pakistan Olympic Association chief, Arif Hasan, assured them Shah would be sanctioned for his actions.
