Saqib Sumeer is a Pakistani actor, director and writer who performs mostly in theatre and also works in television and films.

Originally from Bahawalpur, in Pakistan's Punjab province, Sumeer moved to Karachi to study acting at the National Academy of Performing Arts, where for three years his mentor was veteran actor Zia Mohyeddin. However, he was unable to make a name in dramas because he was not considered "handsome enough", so he concentrated on scriptwriting and theatre, endorsing mainly comic roles in Shah Sharabeel's plays.^[1]

Making his television-acting debut in 2011, Sumeer is known for his roles such as Dilawar in Khuda Aur Muhabbat (season 3) and Rafique Ali in Raqeeb Se.^[2][3]

He made his cinematic debut in 2017 with Yasir Nawaz's Mehrunisa V Lub U.^[4]

Sumeer has directed plays, including Hatim Tai in 2019, that he also co-wrote and where he played the leading role of Hatim al-Tai.^[5]
