Abdul Majeed Mohammed Naushad also known as Mohamed Naushad Majeed (born 1958) is a Sri Lankan politician and a former member of the Parliament of Sri Lanka.^[1]

Naushad was born in Sammanthurai in the Eastern Province of Sri Lanka in 1954. He is the son of former Nintavur MP M. I. M. Abdul Majeed, and the son-in-law of former Deputy Minister and former Pottuvil MP M. A. Abdul Majeed.^[2][3] Pre-destined to enter politics, he began his political career in 1989 for the United National Party.^[4] He was the UNP's convener for the Eastern Province and a member of the UNP working committee.^[2] In 2001, he served as Deputy Secretary of the UNP.^[4] In this position, he created a problem for party leader Ranil Wickremasinghe when he stated his view that "his community came first and the party next".^[3]

Naoshaad left the UNP in 2001 after it formed an electoral alliance with the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC).^[3] He then contested the 2001 parliamentary election from an independent group but failed to get elected.

Naoshaad later joined the SLMC and became a member of the SLMC High Command.^[2] At the 2004 parliamentary election, Naoshaad was a SLMC candidate in Ampara District but failed to get elected again after coming third amongst the SLMC candidates.^[4][5] However, Naushad entered Parliament in April 2008 following the resignation of SLMC leader Rauff Hakeem.^[4][6]

Following a meeting at Temple Trees, Naushad defected to the governing United People's Freedom Alliance (UPFA) during the 2010 parliamentary election campaign and became a member of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party.^[7] He was subsequently made a UPFA candidate in Ampara District but failed to get elected after coming in eighth amongst the UPFA candidates.^[8]
