Shah Siddiq (also rendered Siddik, Siddiky, Siddiqi, Siddiquee) was a 14th-century Sufi saint and one of the 360 auliyas or followers who accompanied Shah Jalal in his conquest of Sylhet, Bangladesh from Turkey. He traced his descent from Abu Bakr Siddiq, the first caliph of Islam. Descendants of Shah Siddiq from Panchpara (in Bangladesh) carry the surname Siddiquee.
He lies buried in the Panchpara village (P.O. Usman Pur, P.S. Balaganj) of Sylhet, near the north eastern Indian state of Assam.
