Rahim Fahim Abdullah (born March 22, 1976) is a retired professional football athlete who competed in both the National Football League (NFL) and Canadian Football League (CFL). He played collegiate football for the Clemson Tigers and was drafted in the second round as the 45th overall pick by the Cleveland Browns during the 1999 NFL draft, coinciding with the Browns' re-entry into the NFL. His brother, Khalid Abdullah, was a linebacker for the Cincinnati Bengals.

Abdullah made a strong impression in his first CFL season in 2002 with the Edmonton Eskimos, starting off by leading with five defensive tackles and blocking a field goal in his very first game. Throughout that season, he amassed several sacks and tackles, playing a key role in strengthening the team's defense. He also spent time with the Calgary Stampeders and was part of the Edmonton squad that secured victory in the 91st Grey Cup in 2003.

In 2008, Abdullah signed with the Grand Rapids Rampage of the Arena Football League, where he was one of only four rookies to earn a starting position on the roster.

Following his playing career, Abdullah took on the role of defensive line coach at Dunwoody High School located in Atlanta, where he currently lives. In 2010, he established FS2 Performance, an athletic training enterprise dedicated to preparing athletes aspiring to compete professionally.
