Shah Naweed Siddiqi (born 13 September 1959) is an English neurosurgeon and former first-class cricketer.

Siddiqi was born at Islington in September 1959. He studied medical sciences and psychology at University College London,[1] before proceeding to Hughes Hall at the University of Cambridge where he obtained his medical degree.[2] While studying at Cambridge, he played first-class cricket for Cambridge University Cricket Club in 1984 and 1985, making seven appearances.[3] Playing as an all-rounder in the Cambridge side, Siddiqi scored 219 runs at an average of 16.84; he made one half century, a score of 52.[4] With his off break bowling, he took five wickets,[5] all of which came in a single innings against Warwickshire at Fenner's in 1984.[6]

His medical career took him to Canada in the 1990s, where he held a neurosurgery residency at University of Toronto, and a fellowship at the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre. Siddiqi is currently a neurosurgeon across a number of hospitals in Texas.[1]
