Tariq Masood is a character from the BBC television series Spooks, played by Shazad Latif. He was the technical wizard who replaced Malcolm Wynn-Jones in Series 8. He joined Section D in 2007 when he was fast-tracked through the system.

He had a cousin living in Lahore.

After finding an electronic bug in his broadband router and escaping his flat, Tariq is killed by a poison injection in Episode 2 of the Tenth Season. This was presumably by a similar system to the Bulgarian umbrella referenced by Sasha Gavrik earlier in the same episode. In the real-life umbrella assassination, a ricin pellet was fired into the victim (Georgi Markov). This method of delivery - and subsequent medical symptoms - bears a striking resemblance to Tariq's murder.
