Saleem Pervez (9 September 1947 – 24 April 2013) was a Pakistani cricketer who played one One Day International in 1980. He was born at Lahore in 1947.[1]

Pervez was involved in the match-fixing inquiry conducted by Judge Malik Mohammad Qayyum in the late 1990s.[1] In September 1998, he testified in the inquiry, admitting to acting as an intermediary between Pakistani players and bookies.[1] According to the Qayyum report, Pervez confessed to giving Salim Malik and Mushtaq Ahmed $100,000 to fix a match in Sharjah.[1] This inquiry was initiated following allegations by Australian players Shane Warne, Tim May, and Mark Waugh, who claimed that Salim Malik had offered them a bribe during a 1994 series against Pakistan.[1] Warne denied knowing Saleem Pervez.[1] Although Pervez was implicated, no charges were proven against him.[1]
