Mohammad Nafees Iqbal Khan (Bengali: মোহাম্মদ নাফিস ইকবাল খান) (better known as Nafees Iqbal; born January 31, 1985 in Chittagong) is a Bangladeshi cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman, and a right-arm medium pace bowler. As a young boy, he attended the English medium school, Maple Leaf International, in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
He is the nephew of former Bangladesh captain Akram Khan. When approached about his century innings in Dhaka, he was disparaging toward the England bowling which he faced, dismissing their spinners as "ordinary". His comments drew more press attention than his batting.
His first century innings came in January 2005, one which aided Bangladesh towards their first ever series victory, 1-0 against Zimbabwe.
