Iie Sumirat, born on 15 November 1950 and died on 22 July 2025, was an Indonesian badminton player, a right handed singles specialist whose style was described in the early 1970s as brutal yet deceptive, with a hard smash and soft touches at the net. In March 1976 he won the Asian Invitational Championships in Bangkok by beating China's Hou Jiachang in three games, and at the first IBF World Championships in 1977 he reached the semi final and took bronze. He played second singles in the Indonesian Thomas Cup teams of 1976 and 1979, won team gold and singles bronze at the 1978 Asian Games and stood on the podium at the 1979 World Cup in Tokyo.
