Iftikhar Imam Siddiqi (born 1947 in Agra) is an Indian Urdu poet and editor, and the custodian of the historic Urdu literary journal "Shayar", which he continues to publish. He belongs to a distinguished literary lineage: his father was the poet Ijaz Siddiqui and his grandfather was the renowned Urdu poet Seemab Akbarabadi. A widely invited mushaira poet across India and Pakistan, he has kept the family's century-old literary journal running despite a disabling accident in 2002.
