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.
After retirement of the Olympic champion Hossein Rezazadeh, he succeeded him representing Iran at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. Due to his poor test results he was placed at group B of the competitions and managed to score the first among participants without getting any medals.
