Syed Asif Masood Shah (born January 23, 1946, Lahore, Punjab) is a former Pakistani cricketer who played in 16 Tests and 7 ODIs from 1969 to 1977.

John Arlott described his unusual run-up as being akin to "Groucho Marx chasing a pretty waitress".

Retiring from cricket in 1977, after marrying in the UK, Asif Masood became a successful businessman, owning first a travel agency then a post office in Bury, Lancashire. He currently resides in Bury with his wife and four children.
