Mohsin Hasan Khan (born March 15, 1955, Karachi, Sind) is a former Pakistani cricketer who played in 48 Tests and 75 ODIs from 1977 to 1986 mainly as an opening batsman.

Playing in this role for Pakistan against India at Lahore in 1982-83, he scored 101 not out of Pakistan's second-innings total of 135/1. This is the lowest team score in Test cricket to have included a century. ^[1]

He was one of a minority of subcontinental players to come to terms with conditions in Australia and England, scoring two consecutive centuries in Australia in 1983/4^[2] and becoming the first Pakistani batsman to score a Test double century at Lord's, which he did earlier in 1982.^[3] Flamboyant, talented and at times audacious, Khan's departure from international cricket to pursue film fame is regarded as one of the biggest losses in Pakistani cricket history.^{[citation needed]}

Quite a heart throb at the peak of his fame,^{[citation needed]} he later married Bollywood movie star Reena Roy and had a short career as an actor in the Indian film industry. Movies he featured in include Fateh, Saathi, etc. He has since divorced Roy and remarried.

He now lives in Lahore, Pakistan. He has a daughter with Reena Roy, who now lives with her mother in India. He had named his daughter Jannat, but since then she is now called Sanam.
