Abdul Khaliq al-Samarra'i (Arabic: عبد الخالق السامرائي) was an Iraqi politician and leading member of the Ba'ath Party in Iraq. He was a member of the Regional Command from 1964 to 1973, and considered a serious rival of Saddam Hussein for leadership of the civilian faction of the Ba'ath Party. He was arrested in 1973 for his alleged involvement in a plot to overthrow the government, and executed in 1979 by Hussein.
