Khan Mohammad (born January 1, 1928) was a member of Pakistan's first Test team that played against India in 1952. Born in Lahore, Punjab, he played in 13 Tests as an opening bowler who shared the new ball with Fazal Mahmood. He also holds the distinction of bowling Pakistan's first ball and taking Pakistan's first wicket in Test cricket.

In Kingston in 1957-58, when Garry Sobers made his 365 not out, Khan Mohammad toiled through 54 overs and returned figures of 0 for 259, the worst test bowling figures in a single innings. On a happier note he once bowled Len Hutton in a test match for a duck, at Lord's in 1954.
