Yoosuf Maaniu Mohamed (Dhivehi: ޔޫސުފް މާނިއު މުހައްމަދު: born 16 March 1978) is a Maldivian public figure, recognised for his influential roles in governance, public service, and political leadership. He served as the Commissioner General of Maldives Customs and as the president of the National Integrity Commission (NIC), where he played a key role in advancing integrity and transparency within the public sector. His work in these positions earned him widespread recognition for promoting governance and anti-corruption efforts in the Maldives.
Maaniu's outspoken criticisms of the police and his push for transparency made him a polarising figure at NIC. While some saw his actions as a necessary step toward accountability and reform, others viewed them as a direct challenge to the police force and the government. His stance, particularly against senior police officials, was believed to have contributed to tensions within the NIC and the wider political environment.
After his tenure as the Customs Commissioner, Yoosuf was appointed as the State Minister at the Ministry of Homeland Security and Technology. However, he resigned from this position with immediate effect shortly after assuming the role.
