Sultan Mohammed Zarawani (born 24 January 1961, Dubai, United Arab Emirates) is a former United Arab Emirates cricketer. He played seven one-day internationals for United Arab Emirates.

He is best known for facing South African fast bowler Allan Donald without a helmet at the 1996 Cricket World Cup and being hit by a fierce bouncer. Despite the blow, Zarawani still continued to refuse the offer of a helmet but only lasted eight more balls before he was dismissed.
