Malik Buari (born January 21, 1984 in Accra, Ghana) is a Ghanaian midfielder and left-sided defender currently playing at the Australian Hyundai A-League team the New Zealand Knights. He was formerly at Fulham (London, England), making his debut against Wigan Athletic on the 23rd of September, 2003. He failed to score in the five first team games he played for Fulham before moving to Woking F.C. on a free transfer.

Buari was one of the many signings made by new coach Paul Nevin intended to help improve on the disasterous inaugural A-League season. Buari impressed in pre-season but he really made a name for himself in Round Two. The Knights had held Adelaide United at 0-0 for the whole match when in the 88th minute, Buari released a 25-metre thunderbolt which went straight into the top corner to win the game and also secure the Knights first home win ever.
