The Sunni Students Federation (abbr. SSF) is an Islamic students' organisation in India. Originated in Kerala in 1973 under the patronage of Sheikh Abubakr Musliyar. It is affiliated to All India Sunni Jamiyyathul Ulama[2] and Kerala Muslim Jamaath. SSF will hold the golden fifty National Conference at Mumbai on 2023 November 24, 25 and 26.[3]

SSF celebrated its 40th anniversary in Kochi in the month of April 2013 with a three-day conference, which concluded at Jawaharlal Nehru International Stadium, in Kaloor. The Chief Minister of Kerala Oommen Chandy inaugurated the valedictory function and Sheikh Abubakr Ahmad delivered the keynote address. It was attended by thousands of students from both secular and religious institutions. SSF leaders said their activities are not meant to segregate the religious from the secular, but rather to help them complement and understand each other better.
