Mohamed Razif Mohamad Sidek (Nickname: Ajib) (born May 29, 1962 in Banting, Selangor) is a former badminton player from Malaysia.

He is the second oldest brother after Misbun amongst the five Sidek brothers who played badminton. He usually plays doubles with his younger brother, Jalani. Razif and Jalani won the All England Championship title in 1982 after beating the Scottish pair, Billy Gilliland and Dan Travers.

He was also a member of the Malaysian squad that won the Thomas Cup for the first time in 25 years, in a 3-2 victory over Indonesia at the National Stadium in 1992. He created history by becoming the first Malaysian athlete to win an Olympic Games medal in Barcelona 1992. They won a bronze medal for Malaysia after reaching the semi-finals in the men's doubles category where they lost to the Korean pair, Park Joo-bong and Kim Moon-Soo.

During his career with Jalani, they become one of the best four doubles pair in the world (Park Joo-bong/Kim Moon-soo, Rudy Gunawan/Eddy Hartono and Tian Bingyi/Li Yongbo) from the 1980's until the early 1990's. After he retired as a badminton player, he was appointed as Malaysian national coach from 1994 until 1996.
