Dato' Sri Sulaiman Abdul Rahman bin Abdul Taib (born 31 May 1968) was a former Deputy Tourism Minister of Malaysia. He is the 3rd son of Abdul Taib Mahmud who is the current Yang di-Pertua Negeri Sarawak while his mother was late Laila Taib. Sulaiman wed 20-year-old Anisa, daughter of the former deputy chief minister of Sarawak, George Chan Hong Nam in August 1991.
He is a former non-executive director of Cahya Mata Sarawak Berhad (CMSB) and a San Franciscan graduate in Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration. Sulaiman is also the group chairman of CMSB from 2002 to 2006, and the former RHB Bank chairman from May 2003 to 2006 following the takeover of RHB by CMS's Utama Banking group. He became the youngest chairman of the local bank at that time. He worked with his brother, Dato Sri Mahmud Abu Bekir Taib (Deputy Group chairman, Non-Independent, non-executive director of CMSB), brother-in-law Datuk Syed Ahmad Alwee Alsree (Group Executive Director of CMSB) and several other board of directors of CMSB.
Sulaiman was also reported to have listed as a sole officer and director of Sakti International Corporation and Wallyson's Inc. in United States. These companies were alleged to be owned by the Taib family.
During the last 12th Malaysian General Election held in March 2008, Sulaiman stood as a candidate in the Kota Samarahan parliamentary seat previously held by his father, Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud and won under the present Malaysian ruling party Barisan Nasional (BN) ticket. Following his win in his parliamentary seat, he was appointed as a Deputy Minister of Tourism in the cabinet of the then Prime Minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. Under the new cabinet line-up of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, he was once appointed again as a Deputy Minister of Tourism.
