M. T. Khan was a Fiji Indian politician and lawyer who was elected to the Legislative Council in the 1966 general elections on the National Federation Party (NFP) ticket.

He lost the 1968 by-election but was elected in 1972 elections into the new House of Representatives. He served in the cabinet as Minister for commerce. He was unsuccessfully tried for corruption and by 1982 had rejoined the NFP. He died before the 1982 elections.
