Rashid Ramzi (Arabic: رشيد رمزي) (born July 17, 1980) is an athlete competing internationally for Bahrain in the 800 and 1500 metres. In the past he has competed for Morocco where he came from. In 2005, Rashid Ramzi became the first athlete in history to win gold medals in the 800 m and 1500 m in the same World Championship, and the first man to perform this feat in a global championship (World Championship or Olympic Games) since Peter Snell did so in 1964.
