Aricco Jumitih is a Malaysian weightlifter. He won the gold medal at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in the Men's 62 kg event.[1]

He caused a minor controversy during the 2010 Games when he wore a jersey bearing the flag of his home state Sabah instead of the Malaysian national flag when competing for the event.[1]
