Albader Parad (died 21 February 2010) was a senior leader of Abu Sayyaf, a group of Islamic militants in the Philippines with links to al-Qaeda. He led the kidnapping of three International Committee of the Red Cross workers in 2009 and was implicated in the 2000 Sipadan kidnappings, where 20 foreign tourists and a Filipino were abducted from the Sipadan Island Diving Resort in Sandakan, Sabah in Malaysia.{{cite news | title=Albader Parad | publisher = GMA News and Public Affairs | date = 16 March 2009 | url =http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/news/content/152935/albader-parad/story/ | accessdate = 19 May 2017}}
