Saiful Azam (11 September 1941 – 14 June 2020) was a Bangladeshi pilot and politician who first served as a fighter pilot for the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) (1960–1971) and later the Bangladesh Air Force (BAF) (1971–1979). During his career as PAF pilot, he shot down one Indian Air Force (IAF) and three Israel Air Force (IAF) aircraft. For his actions, he received various gallantry awards from Pakistan, Jordan and Iraq. He also took part in 12 ground-attack missions against the Indian forces. After the independence of Bangladesh, Azam left the PAF and joined the newly-formed Bangladesh Air Force.
In 1980, he retired from the military and became a politician for Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP). He died on 14 June 2020 at 13:00 hours at the Combined Military Hospital, Dhaka.
In November 1966, he was sent by the PAF on deputation as an adviser to the Royal Jordanian Air Force. During the 1967 Arab Israeli war, Azam shot down a Dassault Mystère IV belonging to the Israel Air Force while flying a Hawker Hunter. A day later, he was shifted to an Iraqi air base where he shot down a Vautour IIA and Dassault Mirage III belonging to the Israel Air Force.
