The Mallick or Malik Baya are a small Muslim community found in the state of Bihar in India and follow Sunni Islam. They're claimed to be the descendants of Malik Ibrahim Baya.

According to Bihar Minority Commission report and several other historical books they are considered to be an Ashraf community among Bihari Muslims, which means that they have high social status. They are mainly concentrated around Jamui district Nawada, Sheikhpura, Nalanda and Patna district.

Social status

In 2008, Maliks were included in the list of Other Backward Class in Bihar. All India Pasmanda Muslim Mahaz, All India Federation of OBC Implies, Mulniwasi Sangh, Santyashodak Samiti and other backward muslim organisations struck against the inclusion. Later, Maliks were made General caste in Bihar after protests.
