Abdul Majeed Badini is a Pakistani politician from Jafarabad District. He is currently serving as a member of the Provincial Assembly of Balochistan since Feb 2024.
He was born into a Baloch family of the Badini tribe in Jafarabad District,Balochistan and became politically active in the 1990s while studying mechanical engineering at the Khuzdar Engineering University,joining the Islami Jamiat-e-Talaba (IJT),the student organization of the Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan (JIP),formally joining the JI itself in 2016.

He contested again in the 2024 general elections on the same platform,this time winning 15,248 votes and defeating Rahat Jamali (PML-N).
