Khalid Samad is a Malaysian politician. He is a member of PAS and the Member of Parliament for Shah Alam, Selangor. He is also a columnist at The Malaysian Insider.

He is the younger brother of former Minister of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs, Shahrir Abdul Samad.

Khalid was born in Kota Bahru, Kelantan in 1957.

He graduated with a degree in Fuel and Energy Engineering from Leeds University in 1979 and then worked for Petronas.

He joined PAS in 1983 and became a central committee member from 1987 to 1993. He had unsuccessfully contested the Kuala Krai, Arau, Sri Gading and Shah Alam parliamentary seats before winning the Shah Alam seat in the 2008 general election.

In 1987, he was detained for nine months under the Internal Security Act during Operation Lalang.

In 2010, Khalid became engaged in a feud with fellow opposition Member of Parliament Zulkifli Nordin over the use of the word "Allah" by non-Muslims. After Khalid stated that he opposed a Selangor law that prohibited non-Muslims from using the word "Allah", Zulkifli lodged a police report accusing Khalid of sedition. He was also suspended by PAS from his official party posts in January 2010. A PAS disciplinary committee found that he had divulged confidential party information and criticised its leader in Selangor, Hassan Ali.

Abdul Samad (Arabic: عبد الصمد‎) is a male Muslim given name, built on the Arabic words Abd, al- and Samad. The name means "servant of the Everlasting", al-Samad being one of the names of God in the Qur'an, which give rise to the Muslim theophoric names.

Because the letter s is a sun letter, the letter l of the al- is assimilated to it. Thus although the name is written with letters corresponding to Abd al-Samad, the usual pronunciation corresponds to Abd as-Samad. Alternative transliterations include Abdus Samad and others, all subject to variant spacing and hyphenation. It may refer to
