Syedna Ibrahim Wajihuddin Bin Syedi AbdulQadir Hakimuddin (died on 17 Moharram 1168 AH/1756 AD, Ujjain, India) was the 39th Dā'ī of the Dawoodi Bohras. He succeeded the 38th Dā'ī Syedna Ismail Badruddin II to the religious post.
Syedna Ibrahim was born in 1690. He procured his initial education from his father, Syedi AbdulQadir Hakimuddin.

He served Syedna Musa Kalimuddin and Syedna Noor Mohammed Nooruddin in the most adverse of times.

Syedna Vajihuddin along with the Mumineen (faithful) proceeded to the banks of river Sipra and prayed to Allah for rain.
