Abdul Malik Baloch (Urdu: عبدالمالک بلوچʿAbdu l-Mālik Balōč) is a politician and served as the 21st Chief Minister of Balochistan, Pakistan from 7 June 2013 to 23 December 2015.[1][3] He was born in Turbat District, Makran and he is a member of the Hooth tribe.

He is the president of National Party.[4] He was the first non-tribal leader to serve as Chief Minister of Balochistan. Malik was succeeded by Sanaullah Zehri, leader of the Zehri tribe, upon Malik's resignation in accordance with the Murree political power sharing agreement.[3]

Baloch campaigned to root out corruption from the province[5][6] He has a good relationship with the federal government and has taken on several companies from federal to Baloch government, hoping to increase provincial revenues[7]

Baloch also favours peace talks with militants in his province.[8] Levels of violence and targeted killings declined relative to previous governments while the construction of electricity and roads upgraded Balochistan's infrastructure. This came as Balochistan had most of its development released, a first in Pakistani history.[9]
