Abdul-Wahid Aziz

Abdul-Wahid Aziz () (1931 – 19 July 1982) was an Iraqi weightlifter. He won a bronze medal in the lightweight division at the 1960 Summer Olympics, and, as of the 2024 Paris Olympics, remains the only person to win an Olympic medal for Iraq.

Aziz was imprisoned twice for his leftist political views; once in 1963 during the Ramadan Revolution, and again in 1980 during the Saddam Hussein regime.
