Mohamed Hanipa bin Maidin is a Malaysian politician. He is the Member of Parliament for Sepang and member of the National Trust Party which is part of the ruling coalition Pakatan Harapan.
Hanipa was formerly a member of Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party until 2015. He and other progressive PAS leaders referred to as the G18 were ousted at the 2015 PAS Muktamar. This led them to launch Gerakan Harapan Baru, which took over the dormant Malaysian Workers' Party, after their attempt to form a new party called Parti Progresif Islam was rejected by the Home Affairs Ministry. GHB was later rebranded as Parti Amanah Negara with Mat Sabu as its first President.
Hanipa is a Barrister by profession. He married Rohani Rohmat.
