Asma Arbab Alamgir (عاصمہ ارباب عالمگیر; born 9 July 1965) is a Pakistani politician who served as member of the National Assembly of Pakistan.

Early life and education
Alamgir was born on 9 July 1965. She completed her graduation in Law and Economics.

She is the wife of Arbab Alamgir Khan.

Political career
Alamgir was elected to the National Assembly of Pakistan as a candidate of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) on a seat reserved for women from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in the 2008 Pakistani general election.

In February 2010, she was made president of the women wing of Pakistan Peoples Party while she was working as provincial coordinator of PPP in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. In April 2010, she was appointed as Advisor to the Federal Minister of States and Frontier Regions.

She ran for the National Assembly as a candidate of the PPP from NA-27 Peshawar-I in the 2018 Pakistani general election, but was unsuccessful. She received 24,002 votes and was defeated by Noor Alam Khan, a candidate of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).

On 18 November 2023, she quit the PPP along with Arbab Alamgir Khan, her husband, citing dissatisfaction with the party's leadership and internal conflicts.

On 13 May 2024, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) suspended the membership of Alamgir as a member of the National Assembly. This action followed a Supreme Court of Pakistan decision to suspend the verdict of the Peshawar High Court, which had denied the allocation of a reserved seat to the PTI-Sunni Ittehad Council bloc.
