Solomon Malliki is a Canadian Inuk politician, who was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Nunavut in the 2021 Nunavut general election.[2] He represents the electoral district of Aivilik.

In November 2024, Malliki brought a motion of no confidence against the premiership of P.J. Akeeagok, alleging that Akeeagok was uncommunicative with MLAs and had fostered a "toxic environment" in the legislature. Akeeagok survived the non-confidence vote 10 to 8, receiving support from all of the cabinet and three regular MLAs.[3]
