Hakam Sufi (Punjabi: ਹਾਕਮ ਸੂਫ਼ੀ) was a noted Punjabi singer as well as a songwriter. He was known for his songs like, paani vich maaran deetan from a Punjabi film and more. Known for his clean and pure style of music, Hakam Sufi stayed away from vulgarity and bawdy lyrics. Untrapped by commercial interests, Sufi, who worked as a school teacher remained dedicated to pristine pure music till his death.

Sufi remained single throughout his life, primarily so that he could dedicate himself to music and to bringing up his siblings. A very close associate of legendary singer Gurdas Mann, both singers belonged to Gidderbaha in Sri Muktsar Sahib district of Indian Punjab. He started singing at a very early age during his schooldays.

His major song was the Chhalla, though Sufi himself conceded in a television interview that it was when Gurdas Maan has sung the song, that it reached great heights. Pani vich maaran deetanMere charkhe di tutt gaee maalhKithe laaye ne sajjana dereDil vatte di, and "Dil tarhpe ashiq da were his major songs.
