Rashid Sharifi Sadeh (Persian: رشید شریفی ساده, born September 21, 1984 in Lenjan) is an Iranian weightlifter in the +105 kg category.
At the 2007 World Championships, he ranked 8th with a total of 410 kg.[1]
He won the gold medal at the 2008 Asian Weightlifting Championships, with a total of 426 kg and 2009 Asian Weightlifting Championships, with a total of 440 kg,[1] but he lost this medal because he tested positive for doping.
