Mohammad Akram Hussain Khan (born November 1, 1968, Chittagong) is a former Bangladeshi cricketer who played in 8 Tests and 44 ODIs from 1988 to 2003. He captained Bangladesh in 15 of his ODI's. A hard hitting middle order batsman, Akram played first class cricket for Chittagong Division.

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 and had gained a reputation as an unorthodox batsman, good at lofting spinners down the ground. A strongly build man, Akram had an unusual stance inwhich he left a large gate between his bat and pads.

He played a large part in their upset win in 1999 World Cup over Pakistan with an innings of 42.
