Junaid Zia (born December 11, 1983 in Lahore) is a Pakistani cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-fast bowler.

The son of the Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Tauqir Zia, he was first integrated into the Pakistani squad at the World Cup Under-19 tournament in 2002. Unfortunately Zia was initially brought to the public's attention for all the wrong reasons, as his bowling action was considered by Asoka de Silva to be somewhat suspect. Having honed his bowling skill he made his first international match in 2003-04 against Bangladesh.

He has received praise for his levels of fitness by Aamer Sohail, the Pakistani selector.
