Jehan Mubarak (born January 10, 1981 in Washington, DC, United States) is an American-born Sri Lankan cricketer. He is a left-handed batsman with an array of strokes and a right-arm offbreak bowler.

Comparisons have been drawn by commentators between Mubarak, an excellent fielder, as well as a classy offspinner, and former English player David Gower. Mubarak has represented Sri Lanka at all levels above Under-15 level and is also a former Sri Lankan swimming champion. He has played both List A and Twenty20 cricket.

He is one of the two Test cricketers to be born in USA, the other being the West Indian Ken Weekes.

In February 2006, he was fined after showing dissent towards an umpire in an ODI against Bangladesh.[1]
