Dato' Paduka Dr. Ibrahim Ali (Jawi: إبراهيم بن علي;, (born 25 January 1951) is a far-right Malaysian politician and a former Member of Parliament for Pasir Mas, Kelantan. He is also the founder and president of Malay supremacist group Perkasa.
He has graduated his Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) from IIC University of Technology, Cambodia in 2017.
Ibrahim was first elected to Parliament in the 1986 election for the United Malay National Organisation (UMNO) in the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition. He later held the seat for Semangat 46 before losing the seat and recontesting it as an independent candidate in the 2004 election. In the 2008 election, Ibrahim ran for the seat on the endorsement of the opposition Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS), winning re-election. However, Ibrahim subsequently fell out with PAS, and now sits as an independent in Parliament having indicated a willingness to support the Barisan Nasional government. He lost his seat to newcomer Nik Muhammad Abduh Nik Aziz in the 2013 Malaysian general election, but remains active in Perkasa.
After the 2008 election, Ibrahim founded Perkasa as a Malay supremacy party, which has taken a hardline stance against what they perceive to be infringements on Malay rights. He opposes abolition of the 30% ownership quota for Bumiputera citizens in government projects allocation. Claiming that the ethnic Chinese is dominating the economy of Malaysia, Ibrahim Ali was also quoted for saying certain groups of Chinese should be greedy while Malays are still lagging behind in all economic areas.
