Mohammed Salim (born 5 June 1957) is an Indian politician, belonging to the Communist Party of India (Marxist). He was inducted in the politbuero of C.P.I.(M.) in the 21st party congress organised at Vishakhapatnam in 2015. He is a member of the 16th Lok Sabha, representing Raiganj constituency. Earlier, he was a member of the 14th Lok Sabha, representing the Calcutta North East constituency of West Bengal. After delimitation, in the 2009 Lok Sabha election Salim contested the new Calcutta North constituency, and lost to Sudip Bandyopadhyay of the Trinamool Congress.

Born on 5 June 1957 in the Kidderpore area of South Kolkata to Azizul Haque, an employee of Kolkata Port, and Ladly Haque, Salim was one of nine siblings. Their family could barely make ends meet and survival was a struggle, perhaps that is what instilled mental toughness and calmness in front of adversity, in Salim's character. From his childhood days, Salim was a studious boy, though he excelled in playing football and himself was an avid football fan. He did his schooling from St. Barnabas High School, Calcutta. Due to financial constraints, he would tutor his juniors or classmates to pay for his school fees and tiffin expenses. From his schooldays he came in contact with the communist ideology that he would be identified with in the future. After finishing his schooling he decided that he would study Humanities, so he decided to spend some time away from home during the time science stream forms were distributed.During this time, he was saved from drowning in a village in Uluberia by a woman, with whose family he still maintains contact.
