Faisal Iqbal (Urdu: فیصل اقبال) (born 30 December 1981 in Karachi) is a Pakistani cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and occasional right-arm medium-pace bowler.

Iqbal, nephew of Javed Miandad, was a prolific junior-level scorer. He played two Tests in South Africa in 2003-04 but could not continue his good fortune with the ball at Test level. As a result, he was dropped, and upon returning to Test cricket after a two-year hiatus, he rejoined essentially as a specialist batsman, scoring his maiden Test century against India to help Pakistan win the 2005–06 Test series in the final Test in Karachi.
