Sheikh Abdul Basit 'Abd us-Samad (1927 in Armant - 1988) (عبد الباسط عبد الصمد), was an Egyptian Qari - that is, a professional recitor of the Qur'an. He was one of the first Haffiz to make commercial recordings of his recitations, and the first president of the Reciters' Union; as well, he was ranked as one of the top four Huffaz in Egypt.

He traveled extensively outside Egypt; in 1961, he recited at the Badshahi Masjid, in Lahore, Pakistan. Abdul Basit Abdul Samad is survived by his three sons (from eldest to the youngest): Yasser, Hisham, and Tariq.
