Syed Aamir Kaleem (born 20 November 1981) is an Omani cricketer. Born and raised in Pakistan, Aamir made his debut for the Omani national side in April 2010, aged 28, and has played regularly for the team since then.

Born in Karachi, Aamir, a left-handed batsman and left-arm orthodox spinner, played underage matches for several Karachi-based sides. Although he was 20 years old at the time, he played a single match for the Karachi Greens under-19s side in Pakistan's Grade-II Under-19 Tournament in September 2002. The following year, Aamir, now 21, played under-19 district matches for Karachi's Zone IV. He captained the side in one match, against Zone III, and scored 101 not out from a team total of 213, coming in third in the batting order. His Zone IV teammates in later matches included two future Pakistan Test players, Khurram Manzoor and Fawad Alam. Aamir played no senior-level matches in Pakistani domestic competitions, with his last under-19 match in the country coming in July 2003.

After emigrating to Oman, Aamir made his debut for the national side in the 2010 ACC Trophy Elite tournament, scoring 42 runs from three 50-over matches. He established himself in the side at the 2011 ACC Twenty20 Cup, where Oman placed third to qualify for the 2012 World Twenty20 Qualifier. At the ACC Twenty20 Cup, Aamir played exclusively as a bowler, and took 10 wickets at an average of 9.40. He was man of the match in two games, taking 3/18 from three overs against Malaysia, and then 3/11 from three overs against Nepal, helping Oman to a two-run win in the third-place playoff.
