Tariq Altaf (1946–2001) was a diplomat of the government of Pakistan.
Tariq Altaf served as Pakistan's ambassador to Sri Lanka from June 28, 1993 to 2000.
He then served as High Commissioner to Canada until September 21, 2001 when he died as a result of a car crash.
He was heading home in a chauffeured car on Sussex Drive in Ottawa, when it collided with a vehicle driven by a seventeen-year-old male, pushing both vehicles into oncoming traffic.
Pakistani officials expressed satisfaction with the charges.
