Omar Hayat Malik was a Pakistani politician, educationist and diplomat. 
In British India, Malik served as the principal of the Islamia College, Peshawar and Islamia College, Lahore. A participant in the Pakistan Movement, he was elected to the Constituent Assembly of India as a candidate of Muslim League and abdicated attendance until the Mountbatten Plan sanctioned the creation of Pakistan and its own constituent assembly. A gifted orator, Malik wished for the new state to be a theocratic democracy. 
In independent Pakistan, Malik was appointed as the first vice-chancellor of the University of the Punjab. However, he resigned in 1950 and joined the diplomatic corps; Malik would serve as Pakistan's ambassador to Japan, Germany, Indonesia and as High Commissioner to India.
