Datuk Seri Dr. Zaliha binti Mustafa (Jawi: زاليحا بنت مصطفى; born 28 June 1964) is a Malaysian politician and physician who has served as the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department in charge of Federal Territories since December 2023 in the MADANI Government administration under Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. She is the first woman to hold this portfolio. She previously made history as Malaysia’s first female Minister of Health, serving from December 2022 to December 2023 before the cabinet reshuffle.

She has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Sekijang since November 2022. A member of the People’s Justice Party (PKR), a component of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition, she has held various key positions within the party, including Chairperson of the PKR Election Committee (JPP), Member of the Central Leadership Council (MPP) (2018–2020), Principal of the Keadilan Academy (2009), Deputy Chief of PKR Women’s Wing (2007–2009), and PKR Johor State Chairperson (2005–2007).

Dr. Zaliha also previously served as Political Secretary to the Minister of Women, Family, and Community Development, Dato’ Seri Dr. Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, during the administration of the 7th Prime Minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad. She is currently the only Cabinet Minister serving without a deputy.
