Mohammad Akram Hussain Khan (Bengali: মোহাম্মদ আকরাম হুসেইন খান ; born 1 November 1968) is a former Bangladeshi cricketer who played in 8 Tests and 44 ODIs from 1988 to 2003. He captained Bangladesh for 15 ODIs. A hard hitting middle order batsman, Akram played first-class cricket for Chittagong Division.

He went on to captain the national side during the period 1994–98.

Akram Khan was part of Bangladesh’s inaugural Test Match, in 2000–01 against India. He had been playing One Day International cricket since 1988. He developed as an international player under the able guidance of Gazi Ashraf Lipu.

He was already well into his 30s when he played in Bangladesh’s inaugural match. He finished his short Test career with a moderate average of 16.18. His highest, 44, came against Zimbabwe at Harare in 2001.

Following the disappointment of the 1994 ICC Trophy in Kenya, there was dissatisfaction and disunity among the players. Akram, who was an established member of the side was selected to lead the side. This seemed slightly risky, as the Chittagong batsman had little previous experience as captain. But, he performed admirably, leading his side to some memorable successes.
