Kamal Khan is a fictional character in the James Bond film Octopussy. He is portrayed by Louis Jourdan.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Khan is an exiled Afghan prince with a penchant for fine food and liquor, priceless jewels, and atomic weaponry. In the film, he associates with the power-crazed General Orlov in an attempt to unleash nuclear holocaust in Western Europe, by planning to detonate a nuclear bomb inside a US airbase, using Octopussy's Circus as a cover. The ensuing outrage at this "accident" will encourage NATO to abandon nuclear arms, and allow Orlov's armies to invade the West.

After Bond disarms the bomb, he boards Khan's plane as he tries to escape with Octopussy. Bond sabotages the fuel line in the plane, forcing Khan to crash into a mountain cliff while Bond and Octopussy jump out of the plane.
