Zulfiqar Ahmed (born November 22, 1926, Lahore, Punjab, died Lahore, October 3, 2008[1]) was a former Pakistani cricketer who played in 9 Tests from 1952 to 1956. He was educated at Islamia College, Lahore.

He was primarily an off-spin bowler, but was also a very useful late-order batsman. His finest hour was when he took 11 for 79 in the match in a Test against New Zealand in Karachi in 1955.[2]
