Masashi Ozawa (小沢 正志, Ozawa Masashi^?), born March 6, 1947 in Tsubame, Niigata, Japan, is a former professional wrestler. Popularly known as Killer Khan, he was billed from Mongolia and had numerous high-profile matches with André the Giant in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) during the 1980s, including the first ever "stretcher match". Khan used Asian mist against opponents as The Great Muta and Yoshihiro Tajiri would later do.

Killer Kahn was involved in the Andre the Giant broken ankle angle in the early 80's. The story was told that he broke Andre's ankle with a top rope knee drop. This started a feud between the two after Andre recovered.

Khan made a brief return to the WWF in 1987, managed by Mr. Fuji, where he feuded with Outback Jack and wrestled in several high profile main events against WWF World Champion Hulk Hogan.

He currently owns a restaurant in Tokyo, Japan.
