Mohammed Younus Shaikh (Punjabi, Urdu: محمد یونس شیخ ‎, born 30 May 1952) is a Pakistani medical doctor, human rights activist and freethinker.

Shaikh studied Journalism in his free time and attained a diploma in Journalism from Islamabad. He was active in intellectual, literary and social circles and he regularly attended the meetings of the Halqa Arbab i Zoaq in Lahore and later in Rawalpindi and Islamabad. He was an active member of the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan in Islamabad. Shaikh attracted the attention of Islamic fundamentalists because he had protested against the abuse of loudspeakers from mosques which caused pain and discomfort to babies, children, and his clinic patients. He often spoke out against extremist Islamic mullahs and their atrocities; particularly against one of his Ahmadi medical friends whose clinics and houses in Burewala were burnt down.
