Mobolade Abimbola Ajomale (born 31 August 1995) is a Canadian sprinter.^[3] He competed in the 60 metres event at the 2016 IAAF World Indoor Championships. He won a bronze medal as part Canada's 2016 Olympic team in the 4 x 100 m relay.^[4]

Ajomale was part of the 4 x 100 m relay team, they finished third in their heats. In the final the team came agonizingly close to a medal and replaced Ajomale with Andre de Grasse. The team was just 0.02 seconds behind the third place United States team. However, the USA team was later disqualified for an improper baton pass, handing the bronze to Canada and Brown who ran the final as a team with anchor De Grasse, Brendon Rodney, Akeem Haynes, and Aaron Brown.^[5]

In August 2017, Ajomale competed in the 2017 World Championships in Athletics representing Canada in the 4 x 100 metres relay. Missing their anchor Andre De Grasse, the Canadian relay team ultimately placed sixth in the finals.
