Sakib Mahmuljin (born 13 October 1952) is a former Bosnian Army (ARBiH) brigadier general and deputy minister of defense in FBiH, a senior official of the Party of Democratic Action (SDA). He was born in Kozarac. During the Bosnian War (1992–95) he was a top Bosnian Muslim general and the commander of most units of Bosnian mujahideen, whom he advocated for and protected. Mahmuljin is recorded on video meeting with mujahideen leaders. He became the commander of the 3rd Corps in September 1994. He has stated that the mujahideen sent 28 severed heads of POW Bosnian Serb soldiers to Bosnian President Alija Izetbegović and Iran. His two brothers Omer and Nagib were killed at the Omarska camp. After the Dayton Agreement (September 1995), he arranged for the settlement of 89 mujahideen families in Bočinja (Gornja and Donja). Dževad Galijašević, the mayor of Maglaj municipality in 2000, ordered for the removal of the mujahideen occupying Serb homes in Bočinja, but the order was never carried out. After the war he became the Vice-Minister of Defense. On 7 October 1999 he travelled with the Bosnian defense delegation to Pakistan to discuss further strengthening of relations.
Mahmuljin was suspected of war crimes in the period of July–October 1995 in the area of Vozuća. Some fifty Bosnian Serb POWs were killed. Arrested on the charges on 8 December 2015, he was released the next day. On 4 February 2016, in court, he stated that he was not guilty.
