Abdul Rahman bin Talib (1916 – 18 October 1968) was a former minister of Malaysia.

He served as minister of transport, health and education. In 1965, opposition MP DR Seenivasagam made an allegation of corruption against Abdul Rahman Talib in Parliament, and repeated it in front of a huge crowd, including Rahman, at the Chinese Assembly Hall.

Rahman sued DR for defamation but lost the case and ended up resigning as a minister.
