Allama Syed Sajid Ali Naqvi (Urdu: علامہ سید ساجد علی نقوی) is the head of the largest Shia organization of Pakistan namely Tehreek-e-Jafaria Pakistan (TJP). After a ban by Musharraf regime, it continues to work under the name of Tehrik-e-Islami. Again the tehreek-e-islami was banned and a new party was formed with the name "Islami Tehreek Pakistan" or ITP. Currently he is not only the leader of ITP but he is the designated leader of the shia community of Pakistan by the Supreme leader Ayatullah Syed Ali Khamenai. Syed Sajid Naqvi also heads the religious wing of ITP i.e The Shia Ulema Council.^[1]

He is often called Numainda-e-Wali-e-Faqih in Pakistan, as he religiously represents (under Willayat) the Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatullah Ali Khamenei.
