Saera Tithi Khan (born 23 April 1979 in Oslo) is a Bangladeshi-Norwegian politician for the Labour Party.

She was elected to the Parliament of Norway from Oslo in 2005. She served as a deputy representative from 2001 to 2005. She was the only member of parliament with immigrant background before Akhtar Chaudhry won a seat, representing Oslo, in the October 2007 elections. She did not seek reelection in 2009.

On the local level she was a member of Oslo city council from 1999 to 2005.

She did not seek reelection in 2009 after she was cited for calling fortune tellers from her office phone.^[1]
