Dato' Haji Wan Abdul Rahim Wan Abdullah (born 24 February 1952) known popularly as Cikgu Rahim, is a Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) politician.
Wan Abdul Rahim was elected as a member of the State Assembly of Kelantan in 1995, and served as the Assembly's Speaker. In 2000, he urged PAS to accept female candidates for general elections, a position that was later adopted by the party.
He was elected to the federal seat of Kota Bharu in 2008. He initially sought to retire at the 2013 election, but instead contested the seat of Gua Musang, losing to its long-time incumbent Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah of the United Malays National Organisation.
